Galaxy S23 will be released in the Iranian market in the next 72 hours
The secretary of the Mobile Importers Association announced that the Galaxy S23 import license has been issued. According to Abakari, the order for this phone has been placed and Galaxy S23 will probably be released in the Iranian market in 72 hours.
Samsung 12 February from Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus unveiled and these phones will be released in the Iranian market soon. “Mehdi Abakari”, the secretary of the Mobile Importers Association, told Digiato about this:
“Galaxy S23 import license has been issued and order registration has started. I think maybe in the next 72 hours this phone will be at the supply level and there is no problem. All importing companies have the possibility of importing this phone, and our importers, except for one case, import all the goods that are offered in the world with less than 24 to 48 hours.”
In response to Digiato’s question about the registration fee and the price of Samsung’s new flagship, he stated that the registration fee that is relevant to the public is a passenger’s discussion that is outside the scope of the Mobile Importers Association. For importers, the costs are also clear, as there is a 12% import tariff for phones above $600, and the currency is the currency of export: Conventional price It will be and it is not high.”
According to Abgari, currently, the currency of other phones above 600 dollars, Hachmun S22 and iPhone 13, is also provided from the currency obtained from exports. This currency has had the same price with the free market until today, and maybe it was even higher in some cases. According to him, this issue causes the price of these phones to fluctuate above $600 in the market.
In response to Digiato’s question, he said:
“From July of this year, it was decided that the currency of phones above 600 dollars will be provided with the currency obtained from the exports of mobile phone importers themselves. During this time, we have expressed our objection to this issue because our importers are actually doing import business. Therefore, we asked the government and the central bank to consider a measure that, with full respect to all exporters, exporters can supply their currency in one system and importers can get the currency they need from there. Like what we see in the Nima currency system.
The secretary of the Mobile Importers Association, emphasizing that importers do not have the familiarity, knowledge and ability to export, believes that they should not enter into the discussion of exports when they do not have these tools: “With the change of the policies of the Central Bank, we hope that this issue will be realized much faster and we will be able to exchange the currency of high-quality goods. Buy 600 dollars from a specific system.
Rejecting rumors about not importing iPhone 14
After banning the import of iPhone 14, some consider the reason for it to be the ability to connect new Apple phones to satellite internet. A theme that seems to be available in Samsung’s new flagships as well. So why were Samsung phones licensed for import? In response to this question, Abakari said: “This conversation was never officially announced and we heard it in news agencies and were surprised. Until today, 18th of February, no license has been issued for passenger and commercial import of iPhone 14, and therefore its import is illegal and has nothing to do with the mentioned issue.
In response to whether there has been an interaction to lift the iPhone 14 import ban, he said: “The discussion of interaction is raised when brands have representation in Iran. Currently, despite the sanctions, no brand has an official representative in the country. The follow-up of this matter should be done through the brands, and since there is no agency, no follow-up has been done. Of course, other Apple and iPhone products are easily imported into the country.”
