Greece's strategic location makes it the ideal landing point for major submarine cable systems connecting Europe, Africa, and Asia. This is triggering massive investments in local data centers.
While investment is encouraged, the Greek state apparatus is notoriously bureaucratic. Importers must adhere to stringent EU regulations while navigating slow, paper-heavy local customs procedures.

Importing technology into Greece requires careful navigation of local customs, taxation, and compliance laws to avoid costly delays.
Greece applies the EU Common Customs Tariff. Many enterprise tech components benefit from duty-free entry under the WTO Information Technology Agreement, but specific goods can face duties up to 14%.
A high standard Value-Added Tax (VAT / FPA) of 24% is levied on all imported hardware, calculated on the CIF value plus any applicable customs duties.
Attempting to manage AADE customs bureaucracy and EETT compliance remotely is a recipe for severe delays. IOR Cloud Ltd. acts as your fully registered Importer of Record in Athens.
