According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, an investigator of the Tehran Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office, following the report of the Ministry of Silence, ‌ demanded the clearance of 420 containers of Bush’s home appliances from customs.

In a letter to the Director General of Customs on October 9, 2009, the government employee criminal investigator requested the clearance of the company’s customs cargo, stating: “Registration of the order of Bosch Service Company regarding the customs clearance of the mentioned company and announce the result to this branch.”

The appendix of this correspondence shows that one day before, on 17 October of this year, Saeed Abbaspour, Director General of the Export and Import Regulations Office of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, according to the Court of Administrative Justice, said that order No. 53200650 dated 27 November 1996 was registered by This office was issued in the name of Bush Company and its validity was extended according to the orders of the judicial authority on February 6, 1998, and it was valid until November 3, 1999.

These efforts are being pursued by the Ministry of Silence in cooperation with the Prosecutor’s Office, while Mehrdad Jamal Arvanghi was arrested on 13 July this year. Technical Deputy of Iranian Customs It was announced that the clearance of Bush goods was canceled, which was concluded in the presence of the relevant agencies.

What is the story of Bosch home appliances?

Prior to 1997, there was no ban on ordering home appliances, and the Ministry of Silence issued licenses to importers, so the initial order registration was received under normal circumstances, and the documents show that until November 1999, due to the ongoing case. , The validity of this order registration was extended.

In 1997, due to the escalation of oppressive US sanctions and currency tensions, home appliances, which are considered the final and consumer goods and could be produced domestically, were banned by the then government, and now the import of appliances to support domestic production is banned. The house is still banned. Regardless of this issue, the previous government’s directive is still in force and no new order has been issued in this regard.

The $ 420 container of Bosch home appliances has been announced at $ 10 million, while customs officials say that, assuming clearance is possible, the figure could reach as high as $ 40 million.

what is the problem?

According to the Director General of Customs, this case has ambiguities that were noticed by the Ministry of Silence. Vahid Khodravisi in this regard Had stated“Following the initial rulings, the three agencies, including the customs, the central bank and the Ministry of Silence, will be notified, and the customs will protest within 20 days of the legal opportunity. During this 20-day period, the customs protests, appeals, and the matter is raised and investigated in Branch 5 of the Court of Administrative Justice. Customs representatives will respond and the ambiguities of the branch will be removed. Branch 5 comes to the right and violates the initial lawsuit and the appeal lawsuit is announced. “The interesting thing is that among these agencies, according to information and investigations, only the customs did not protest, that is, the Ministry of Silence and the Central Bank apparently did not object to the lawsuit, and this in itself raises the question of what the issue was like.”

In addition to this ambiguity, customs officials have a major problem with how to provide foreign exchange, whether it is without foreign exchange or from the banking system. If it is without currency transfer, it is not possible to clear it according to the directives of the twelfth government, and if it is bank or semi-bank, the Ministry of Silence and the Central Bank must approve it so that it can be cleared.

In this regard, Saeed Abbaspour, Director General of the Export and Import Regulation Office of the Ministry of Silence said: The currency required for the import of these goods was before the ban and when the Nimai currency system was not established; Therefore, it is stipulated that part of the currency required for this shipment be provided through the applicant’s currency and the other part through the banking system, which is the free currency. The relevant lawsuit also states the title without currency transfer.

In response to these remarks, Hamidreza Ghaznavi, spokesman for the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, stressed: “Although it has taken months for foreign exchange to be allocated to raw materials and parts of home appliances, and all manufacturers complain about non-allocation and delay in foreign exchange allocation, 420 containers of appliances Foreign home is on the verge of clearance. In this regard, the Ministry of Silence and the Central Bank must be held accountable for why they did not object to this vote and why the Ministry of Silence registered it and the Central Bank provided its currency.

According to Fars, علت Currently, the reason for the suspension and non-clearance of Bush home appliance containers is the lack of transparency in how the Central Bank and the Ministry of Silence provide foreign exchange, and it is not clear despite the president’s announcement to stop importing foreign home appliances and various laws. In order to support the production, the officials of this ministry insist that these imported equipments be cleared.

On the other hand, customs officials should be held accountable. If it is not possible to clear this product, why is the owner of the product not notified of its return or is it not abandoned?
