In the business of importing cars into the US, obtaining an Importer of Record (IOR) number is a necessary requirement. This unique identifier is assigned by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and is essential for tracking importations and collecting duties and fees. To qualify for an IOR number, individuals must be US citizens or lawful permanent residents, while businesses need to be registered and have a valid Tax Identification Number. The application process involves submitting CBP Form 5106, which can be completed online and requires personal or business details along with a signed declaration of compliance with US import regulations.

Supporting documentation, such as identification documents, proof of residency or business registration, may also be required. A non-refundable processing fee of $200 must be paid electronically through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. After submission, CBP will review the application, assess eligibility, and conduct background checks. This process may take several weeks, so patience is important. Once approved, the assigned IOR number must be kept secure and provided to the customs broker for importing cars into the US.

Importing cars into the US comes with complexities in terms of regulations and procedures, making it highly recommended to partner with a licensed customs broker. A customs broker will handle all necessary paperwork, communicate with CBP on your behalf, and navigate the intricacies of the import process. Obtaining an IOR number is a crucial step in ensuring successful importation, and by following the steps discussed, importing vehicles into the US can be achieved smoothly and in compliance with regulations.
