General overview of the IOR, the required documents to submit, and the benefits of selecting Emerhub as your consignee

A foreign company seeking to import into Malaysia must register a company and obtain the necessary permits and certificates, as well as comply with product-specific regulations before they can legally import goods, which is a costly and time-consuming process. An IOR is a third party that is contracted to be responsible for the shipment of goods.
Through our Importer of Record service, Emerhub acts as your consignee and handles all the shipment logistics through our pre-existing network. Since we already have the necessary licenses and expertise in place, you simply need to submit your documents and we take care of the rest. This allows you to start planning your imports immediately.
