During a meeting, “Mohammed Rizwanifar” presented the latest report on the country’s foreign trade situation. According to his announcement, during the first 11 months of this year, more than 17.8 billion dollars worth of goods were imported into the country, of which the share of mobile phones is about 4.58 percent.

The effect of the iPhone 14 import ban on the decrease in the dollar value of imports

According to the statistics provided by the customs, mobile phones worth 4.1 billion dollars were imported into the country last year and were at the top of the list of imports. During the first 10 months of 1401, this figure was about 3.3 billion dollars.

This statistic shows a decrease of more than 20% in the value of the phone imported to the country compared to last year.

In an interview with Mehr, the senior expert of Samane Hemta recently announced that out of the total of 4 billion dollars of phones imported into the country in 1400, about 850 million dollars were allocated to the import of iPhone 13 in the second half of the year.

It should be mentioned that the import of mobile phones, especially iPhones, has been accompanied by many problems during the new year. The suspension of order registration, non-allocation of currency and change of product group code, and finally the allocation of currency from exports for the import of phones above 600 dollars are among these challenges.
