The plan to import used cars will be implemented soon, but what are the conditions for importing used cars and who can import used cars?
The used car import bill has been reviewed in the meetings of the Guardian Council and will soon become a law with final approval. Also, the head of the National Standard Organization announced that millions of cars could enter Iran in the near future. Therefore, it seems that all the steps of importing second-hand cars have been completed and soon we will see these cars entering Iran, but who can import second-hand cars into the country?
Conditions for importing used cars
While Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Speaker of the Parliament, recently announced that any real person can import a used car without a car registration card, but the Deputy Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade has a different opinion.
The deputy official of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade regarding the conditions for importing second-hand cars said that the import of cars, including new and used, should be done according to the regulations approved by the government and according to the relevant rules and regulations, including by real and legal importers who have a valid business card, observing the ceiling set in the regulations and observing the foreign currency resources of the country, with the priority of using foreign currency for basic and essential goods.
These statements show that real persons who want to import cars must first have a valid business card and secondly specify the source of currency for import. Of course, Iran’s foreign trade environment has recently undergone changes with various regulations and instructions, and the import conditions may change again. Also, with a new regulation, it is possible to make the condition of import for export so that car manufacturers become used car importers.
In addition, Lotfollah Siahkoli, a member of the Industries Commission, has also presented a new proposal for the import of used cars, according to which, if a person has currency abroad or at home, he can carry out the import process. This member of parliament said that Iranian people have more than 60 billion dollars in their homes and they can import cars to the country with this currency.
Mustafa Taheri, a member of the Parliament’s Industries and Mines Commission, announced some time ago that by importing used cars in a short time and with less currency, a proper balance can be created in car prices, especially foreign cars. He added that the price of these cars is irrationally about 4 to 5 Baht compared to the price of similar cars in neighboring countries.
