The latest details of the car import regulations; From car tariffs to the maximum allocated currency

According to the online economy report, quoted by Tasnim, Jalil Rashidi; The representative of Maroodasht in the Islamic Council said about the car import regulation: the car import regulation was compiled in 10 clauses, some of the clauses of the regulation could be adjusted better so that better things happen in the field of cars for the country and for the people.

He added: One of these cases is the dollar limit in addition to the tariff, which was considered in the regulations for importing cars. According to this regulation, cars up to $10,000 have been introduced as economic cars and a 10% tariff has been set for them, and more than that up to $20,000 will be imported with the previous tariff. It would have been better if the government and the ministry of privacy had determined the tariff in a staggered manner.

Marovdasht’s representative continued: For example, it would have been better to consider a 10% tariff for a car up to $10,000, a 20% tariff for a car worth $10,000 to $15,000, and a 35% tariff for a car worth $15,000 to $25,000. Its import also increased.

Rashidi added: Also, it would have been better if they did not set a ceiling for the price of the car, because when we set a ceiling, it creates rent.

He stated: With this regulation, in fact, if a car with a price of 10,000 dollars has to enter the country with the previous tariff, with this method, a high tariff is considered for an 11,000 dollar car, but a 10% tariff for a 10,000 dollar car. Designated; In fact, this is not a very logical decision.

Marvdasht’s representative in the parliament stated: Another objection that can be made to this regulation is that according to this regulation, they have considered government currency up to one billion dollars for the import of cars, this is not a very well-considered decision. When we consider the currency and the ceiling for imports, for example, if all the cars that enter the country cost 20,000 dollars, with the set ceiling, only 50,000 cars can be imported, which practically will not have an effect on the market.

Rashidi emphasized that we should not consider government currency to import cars, and said: We should use foreign currency for imports; An incentive should be considered for those who are abroad so that they convert car money into cars and enter the country and invest in Iran; This creates a strong financial cycle and is definitely profitable for them considering the attractive car market in Iran.
