A North American cloud infrastructure provider needed to deploy a $4.2M shipment of servers, switches, and networking appliances to a new colocation facility in Buenos Aires — but had no Argentine legal entity. Argentina's import-licensing regime, customs scrutiny on dual-use technology, and strict foreign-currency controls were threatening to push the go-live date back two full quarters.
Cut Argentine customs clearance from a projected 90+ days to under 30, keeping data-center commissioning on schedule.
Preserved OEM warranty terms with certified handling and unbroken chain-of-custody documentation from origin to rack.
Cleared every Argentine import-licensing, AFIP, and dual-use screening requirement on the first pass.
Working from our UAE hub, we built a single-source IOR engagement spanning origin to destination — turning a fragmented, multi-jurisdictional problem into a single accountable workflow.
Pre-cleared the shipment through our LATAM IOR partner network, securing Argentine import licensing before goods departed the origin.
Consolidated and bonded the cargo through our UAE hub for documentation review, HS-code validation, and dual-use export screening.
Managed AFIP customs clearance, peso-denominated duty settlement, and last-mile delivery into the Buenos Aires colocation facility.
The full deployment cleared Argentine customs in 26 days — versus the 90+ days the client had budgeted. The data center went live on its original commissioning date, and our UAE-routed IOR service is now the client's default channel for all subsequent LATAM hardware rollouts.
