Demand for Used Electronics Soaring in Tandem With Prices

With prices of electronic products going through the roof over the past year, demand for secondhand products has ballooned in Iran. 
In order to regulate the growing market for such products, Tehran IT Union is set to establish a specialized taskforce.
According to the union’s website, as demand for used electronics—computer devices, mobile handsets and more—booms in Iran, unregistered entities have started smuggling such goods into the country.
Since these entities do not pay taxes and customs duties, they can offer secondhand electronic products at lower prices and dominate the domestic market.
