An important question about iPhone and car import – Tejaratnews

According to Tejarat News, at the same time as the news of the collection of iPhone 15 in the market, Deputy Minister Samet promised that the supply of imported cars will be done from next week. Cars that end up with Chinese products and not the products of other countries.

Although, the way to import goods into the country should be open and the production and supply of any product should not be exclusive, but the contradictory currency policy of the country is strange in Athens. A policy that, on the one hand, faces a shortage of currency for the import of phones, but has currency for the import of Chinese cars.

In this regard, Etemad wrote: The spokesman of the headquarters for combating goods and currency smuggling says, “Only 1% of the population uses the iPhone as a luxury phone, but it accounts for more than 30% of the country’s currency portfolio.” Therefore, the import of this product is prevented. On the other hand, it is not clear how many percent of the society is able to buy imported cars with prices above one billion tomans. But not only the import of this product is not prevented, but every day a new promise is made for it.

This duality in commercial policies, which is now also accompanied by a complicated situation, and the importing and exporting parties are also complaining about laws such as the “currency deposit agreement”, has created conditions that make the “promise of importing cars” ambiguous.

But the point that this report emphasizes is that in the situation where the crisis of lack of currency for importing many goods, even the basic goods, has shown itself, is the imported car something more than the Chinese cars?

Currently, nothing but different models of Chinese cars are available on the website of major car importing companies. On the website of the company that apparently represents Korean cars, nothing special has been uploaded for almost 5 years, and the rest of the companies have not provided anything special either. In the words of the executive of the car import plan, it is not specified which brands are allowed to enter Iran. Is there any news about the import of European or Japanese cars? Or is it that the existing promises that have been very popular are exclusive to the Chinese car?

It seems that all the noise that has arisen over the import of cars is exclusive to the import of Chinese cars that have the possibility of after-sales service and money transfer through non-Swift systems. The rest of the big companies that are famous and active in the world; Without connecting to SWIFT, without implementing FATF programs and without a transparent financial and banking mechanism, they cannot export cars to Iran. Therefore, one should ask why all this noise and promises of treatment are made in the car market? While the new iPhone models are not registered under the pretext of pricing; What is the reason for all this insistence to import some Chinese cars?
