Supply and demand are the main issues in car imports and should be considered in import regulations that are being compiled by the Ministry of Industries, Mining and Trade, according to a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Homogeneous Propulsion Industries and Component Manufacturers of Iran.
“To encourage buyers to use low emission cars such as hybrid and electric vehicles, governments enact laws for reducing toll fees and taxes to solve environmental and gasoline issues,” Yousef Haqiqi was also quoted as saying by Khabar Khodro.
The official noted that if the purpose of car import is to reduce the price of domestically produced cars, this may not materialize as high customs duties and tariffs make imported cars attractive only for customers of high-end cars.
“Globally, a car with a price tag of $20,000 is not a car with high tech and the latest features,” he added.
