Technology Resellers Can Achieve Complete Customs Compliance

In our current economic climate, resellers of technology need to expand their business and clientele internationally to succeed. Even with adequate resources dedicated to market research and forming solid local relationships in the desired foreign destinations, shipping technology hardware and dual-use goods comes with much paperwork and pitfalls. IT equipment is highly regulated, and the added complexities associated with the various customs laws and compliance requirements in different nations discourages many resellers from growing across borders and overseas. With cloud computing and data centers in high demand, and with nations making the switch to using virtual servers to store their sensitive data, technology resellers must make the right distribution partnerships.

It's necessary to partner with an entity that can handle the documentation and details of international trade. A lot of time and money can be spent lost in the weeds with every different nation, sussing out their individual rules and regulations. Instead, relying on an Importer of Record can free your business from these hassles and prevent costly delays at the border. Partnering with a company like TecEx is a game changer for value-added resellers, manufacturers, and distributors of IT equipment. They assume all of the risks and challenges associated with global shipping by completing the required documentation, ensuring it is accurate, and keeping current with the local laws of 180 foreign countries.

IT equipment and dual-use goods are highly regulated and scrutinized across the global board. Border officials can flag and stop any shipment where anything might be slightly amiss and hold these goods until the mistake has been rectified. Likewise, missing a single field, improperly filling out any section, or not paying the proper fees can result in stoppage and costly delays. Those providing cloud computing services to important clients like multinational corporations or local governments will find these clients quickly moving on to leasing equipment from a reseller or manufacturer who can reliably and quickly deliver. An experienced Importer of Record can guarantee streamlined, successful cross-border transactions every time.

TecEx also provides tax recovery services, so those incurring indirect taxes in foreign destinations can receive a refund in most nations. They handle the clearance and paperwork as part of their Importer of Record services; all associated risks lie with them when they take on this official role after negotiation between buyer and seller. As a non-resident importer, TecEx can recover VAT and GST, as well as other taxes, from essentially any nation where you wish to operate. Every shipment can be assessed to achieve the best possible tax outcome, from full or partial rebates.

To make expanding your reselling business even more convenient, TecEx offers door-to-door service, and they also maintain relationships with several major couriers if you'd prefer to stick with your own carrier. To summarize, they will prepare shipping documents, pre-approve the equipment and parts to be shipped, apply for any necessary licenses and permits, arrange pick-up using their global carrier account (or work with yours), clear items easily through foreign customs, and arrange for local delivery in the final destination. You can focus on reselling technology to a broad range of clients and leave the complex logistics to your trusted Importer of Record.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
