Solving Tax Compliance Challenges for Cross-Border Sellers

Traditionally, import taxes are collected during customs clearance, with brokers paying taxes on the seller’s behalf. However, more countries now require sellers to register for local tax IDs, collect tax at checkout, file reports, and remit taxes directly—a daunting task for U.S.-based ecommerce merchants.

Passport Seller of Record (SOR) eliminates this burden, allowing merchants to outsource international tax management entirely. By integrating with a merchant’s product, order, and shipment data, Passport SOR:

• Minimizes tax liability through optimized remittance methods.
• Ensures compliance with evolving global tax laws.
• Automates tax calculations and reporting for accuracy and timeliness.
