Plan to Ease Import of Computers, Parts, Electronics in Iran

In collaboration with Tehran Information Technology Union, the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration has devised a mechanism to ease imports of computer equipment, parts, and electronics.
Over the past several months, due to the unprecedented jump forex rates, IRICA and importers were not able to agree on how to calculate the price of imported goods and the related tariffs. The extended uncertainty and market concerns hampered the work of importers and affiliated businesses.
Tehran IT Union’s director Mehdi Mirmehdi told the news website Peivast that after marathon talks IRICA and the union have come up with a system that can help ease the process. A database of the prices of goods is to be created under the supervision of the union.
He said as per an agreement between the union and the customs, a task force will be established to facilitate imports of computer devices, spares, and electronics.
