How to ensure the smooth customs clearance of goods destined for Iran is a very important issue. Here are some precautions for customs clearance of Iran's import and export goods:

1、 Import tariff

Iran adopts the tariff system of the World Customs Organization tariff classification catalogue, which collects tariffs on an ad valorem basis. Tariffs are paid in Riyals at the exchange rate set by the central bank. The tax rate of most machinery and equipment is 5% to 10% of the CIF price, while that of some products is as high as 150%. Several small taxes will be levied on imported goods, including the chamber of commerce tax, which accounts for 1.5% of the total CIF value. The import of capital goods and raw materials required for approved foreign investment projects can be exempted from tariffs, and no tariffs are imposed on chemicals used in medicine and laboratories. Almost all goods are subject to business profit tax, and the tax rate will be listed in the import rules every year. Most of the business profit tax is calculated by weight, but some are also calculated by quantity or value.

If it is calculated by weight, the customs will subtract the weight of ordinary packaging from the total weight. The value based tax rates vary from 1% to 200%. The business profit tax also includes monopoly tax, which must be paid before customs clearance. If the declaration is false or there are other violations of import rules, the customs will confiscate the goods or impose a fine. If the fine is not paid within two months from the date of payment, part of the goods equivalent to the value of the fine will be auctioned publicly. If the goods are unreasonably detained by the customs, a compensation fee of no more than 1% of the value of the goods can be obtained every month during the detention period.

2、 Import documents

Commercial invoice in triplicate. The invoice required for tariff calculation shall be written in English or French. The content includes all general commercial instructions, such as the number, quantity and type of goods, detailed name of goods, gross and net weight, and origin. In addition, the letter of credit number must be written, preferably indicating the tariff number, details of foreign exchange license (number, issuing place and time), and the price should be written in the FOB and CIF prices.

The air waybill does not need to be notarized, and it is allowed to issue an instruction bill of lading, but it should indicate the address of the notified person and the number of the letter of credit. An international bill of lading is required for railway transportation. Inspection certificate

According to the instructions of the Central Bank of Iran, Iranian private companies are obliged to show inspection certificates to buyers when delivering goods with a value of more than 1.5 million Riyals. The central bank approved 15 inspection companies. The certificate must be submitted in three copies (one copy is left in the chamber of Commerce). La if the freight bill needs to be notarized, then the legally effective price statement must be signed at the end of the document: "we guarantee that the price mentioned above and all our documents are correct."

3、 Import control

Iran's import regulations are issued by the Ministry of Commerce on the new year's Day (March 21) of the Iranian lunar calendar every year. The regulation divides imported goods into four categories: goods with full authority, conditionally authorized (determined by several departments), unauthorized and prohibited (goods prohibited by Islamic laws and regulations). As the "import regulations" are constantly changing, it is recommended to ask the competent "procurement and supply center" in advance when necessary.

There are many regulations on some food, beverage, medicine and toilet equipment. For example, the label must say:

(1) The name of the commodity and the address of the manufacturer and the country of origin;

(2) Trademark registration number in Iran;

(3) The license number and date of the Ministry of health for the production and sale of products in Iran. When exporting to Iran, we should pay attention to the new standards of the Iranian National Bureau of standards (ISIRI). Many industrial chemicals require special import licenses.

For imported live animals, bees and insects, eggs, roots, bulbs, stems, twigs, fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, and any plants or plant parts of plants, health certificates of the country of origin are required, and prior permission from the Ministry of agriculture of Iran is obtained. The import license usually stipulates the entry requirements, special treatment, port of entry restrictions and supporting documents required for relevant details. In addition, the export of veterinary medicine products (including feeding concentrate and supplementary feed) to Iran should submit a certificate according to the requirements of the Iranian Ministry of agriculture, stating the free production, use and sale of the product in the country of origin. The certificate shall be approved by the Veterinary Medicine Department of the Ministry of agriculture of the country of origin.

4、 Free Trade Zone

Iran currently has four free trade zones, namely Kish, keshem, chakhbahar and Sirjan. According to the import and customs clearance regulations issued by the technical and Commercial Commission of Iran Free Trade Zone, all items that are allowed and conditionally allowed to enter the free trade zone, including basic materials, raw materials and production line parts, production tools and equipment (industrial machinery), accessories and production raw materials, do not need the permission of the relevant departments, and all production units and individuals can Import the above items into the above four free trade zones without going through the banking system.

All goods imported into the free trade zone can be re exported to a third country, but in other customs, the relevant customs regulations must be observed. After processing or value-added, imported goods can be exported to other countries without paying commercial and customs taxes. Goods in transit can be exempted from Iranian customs duties, but must be subject to customs supervision and management. The Iranian customs service also provides a storage place for goods in transit. After receiving the written consent of the customs, the owner or his agent of the goods can carry out assembly, batching, mixing, repacking, classification and selection, etc.

The above is all about the customs clearance instructions for Iran's import and export goods. If you have any other questions about bre express delivery to Iran, please feel free to consult bre-line.
