Iranian Government Says New Car Import Rules are Retroactive

The government has finally allowed the clearance of imported cars rotting in the customs. It issued a long-awaited directive outlining conditions under which the cars can be released and says the new rules for elevated tariffs are retroactive. 
Since auto import rules were suspended in June 2017, the online auto import registration website locally known as Sabtaresh was shut down by authorities along with the mandatory order registry, Donya-e Eqtesad reported.
Law has it that after receiving import permits from the Ministry of Industries importers are required to make an online registration with the Trade Promotion Organization for importing every single vehicle.
