Sourcing IT hardware for your destination? Here’s how to do it right

When you source IT hardware for global deployments, you have two options: buy it in your destination market, or import from a trusted supplier. Purchasing from an in-market vendor eliminates shipping complexity, but often comes with high markups and limited stock. While importing hardware gives you better pricing and procurement flexibility, it also requires navigating customs, duties, and compliance. The right approach for your business depends on your supply chain, operational priorities, and cost requirements.

The problem with buying IT hardware in your destination market

If an in-market vendor has the IT hardware you need in stock, it can offer convenience by eliminating the need to manage shipping and compliance. However, working with these vendors has drawbacks:

Vendor fragmentation causes more administrative work and greater risk

Managing multiple in-market vendors across different regions leads to inconsistent lead times, unpredictable costs, and administrative overhead. Without a single point of control, juggling multiple vendors complicates IT rollouts and causes logistical headaches, delays, and unexpected costs. You’ll also have to constantly onboard new vendors as well.

Increased prices and reseller markups reduce cost control

In-market vendors charge premium prices for their hardware because they’ve covered costs like import duties, taxes, and logistics expenses and add their own margins. Limited supplier options restrict your ability to negotiate, leaving you stuck with local pricing instead of cost-saving global procurement strategies. Additionally, when you buy from an in-market vendor, you also lose access to tax optimization strategies (e.g., VAT reclaims, structured import tax savings).

Customs and compliance risks for non-stocked items

If an in-market vendor doesn’t have what you need, they will need to source it. However, many vendors lack the customs expertise to ensure a smooth import, leading to delays and compliance risks.

Unlock wide inventory and cost savings through global shipping

Instead of managing multiple in-market resellers across different regions, centralized procurement combined with a specialized international logistics strategy ensures standardized IT deployments, cost predictability, and faster delivery.

Shipping IT hardware internationally unlocks cost savings, strengthens your supply chain control, and increases procurement flexibility. With the right strategy, you can take full advantage of these benefits while avoiding common shipping challenges such as customs bottlenecks, transit delays, and unexpected costs. Here’s how to take advantage of this opportunity:

Step 1: Source from HQ or a preferred vendor

Sourcing IT hardware from the same country as your company’s headquarters or a trusted supplier enables bulk pricing, SKU standardization, and better supply chain control. This approach also helps you avoid regional markups, inconsistencies.

Step 2: Use FGX to handle global IT logistics

FGX manages the entire global shipping process, eliminating compliance risks and logistical challenges. This includes the Importer of Record (IOR) setup, in which we determine the best approach to ensure smooth customs clearance. Through pre-clearance feasibility checks, FGX verifies all permits, tax structures, and HS codes before shipping to prevent delays. We use the fastest, most secure shipping routes and direct air freight, instead of slower, high-risk methods. FGX supports cost optimization by looking for opportunities to reduce duties, reclaim VAT, and avoid unnecessary import tax liabilities.

Step 3: Deliver hardware to its destination

Once shipments arrive, FGX handles customs clearance, pre-funded duties and taxes, and secure last-mile delivery, ensuring everything arrives on time and fully compliant. By combining centralized procurement with FGX’s global logistics expertise, companies can deploy IT infrastructure faster, at a lower cost, and with complete regulatory confidence.
