One Identity Support may request additional information when shipping an RMA to certain countries. This is due to country specific limitations and regulations which may result in delays in receiving your RMA. Some of these countries include United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, China, India, Brazil, Egypt, and Russia.
Shipments to the United Kingdom will require the companies VAT number and EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number.
On March 1, 2023, there was an update to the European Union’s Import Control System (ICS2) for all goods entering the EU, Norway, and Switzerland by air. With this update, express couriers like UPS, FedEx, DHL and Freight forwarders are required to provide customs authorities with customs data prior to departure for shipments entering the European Union, Norway, and Switzerland.
As a Part of this, customers will need to provide an EORI or TAX ID number. This is not the same as the customer’s VAT number. Please note that this information is not a new requirement. What is new is that this number must be sent by the shipper prior to the shipment of the appliance.
Please note that for Norway this is called an Organization number. For Switzerland this is called a Unique Identification number.
After the RMA has been confirmed, a replacement unit will be sent.
Transportation costs and duties, will be paid for by One Identity.Replacement hardware will only be provided following initial research and problem qualification through One Identity Support. At that stage should it be assessed that an RMA needs to be actioned this would be processed through our fulfillment team against a target next day shipping service. Note that In certain geographical areas next business day shipping may not be possible in practice due to carrier or local customs limitations.

Data RemovalWe recommend customers remove all data from the hard drives in accordance with their company’s standard policies before returning the entire appliance. Immediately on receipt at One Identity when RMA appliances are returned, a secure wipe is performed on the drive through a bitwise image and re-encryption process ensuring the complete removal of any remaining customer data.
Should customers require a more extensive data wipe to be performed this can be requested from One Identity in advance and may incur charges.
If the storage devices are removed and not returned to One Identity then a cost will be incurred to the customer. For information and costs with relation to keeping the hard drives please contact your One Identity account manager / sales rep via sales@OneIdentity.com the part code is HDD-SFG-CH.
