Domestic Automotive Spare Parts Without ID Amount to $2.5 Billion

A large volume of auto spare parts in the Iranian market do not have an identification code, according to an expert.
Ahmad Hosseini, the head of the Tehran Automobile and Machinery Spare Parts Dealers Union, was quoted as saying by Donyaye Khodro that the average annual turnover of the domestic car spare parts market is about $11.5 billion, of which $2.5 billion pertain to unidentified parts, but not smuggled ones.
The Iranian market has a substantial volume of spare parts that have either been smuggled into the country or fabricated by unregistered manufacturers. As a result, the Ministry of Industries, Mining and Trade announced a scheme that obliged all domestic manufacturers to acquire an ID and a QR code for all spare parts, including for those produced earlier.
