3) Special Conditions for Importing and Exporting ABS Systems
Special Conditions for Import
Compliance with Safety and Environmental Standards
Importing ABS systems requires compliance with stringent safety and environmental standards. These standards are designed to ensure correct and safe braking performance, conformity with international standards, and assessment of environmental impacts. Many countries—especially advanced manufacturing nations such as Japan, South Korea, and Germany—have high standards that make importing ABS systems from these countries easier. These standards typically include quality certificates, safety compliance approvals, and quality control documentation.
Specific Documents and Permits
For importing ABS systems, providing precise technical documents and obtaining legal permits from relevant organizations is essential. These permits include approvals for national and international standards, laboratory certificates, and supplier establishment documentation. In accordance with customs regulations, an order registration and relevant approvals from competent authorities—such as the National Standards Organization and the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade—must also be obtained.
Quality Review and Inspection
All imported ABS systems must be inspected by customs experts and other relevant bodies. This inspection includes checking system performance, conformity with technical specifications and production standards, and verifying parts quality. This process is particularly important for safety-critical components such as ABS.
Special Conditions for Export
Compliance with International Standards
For exporting ABS systems, it must be ensured that these systems comply with international standards and the requirements of the destination country. This includes quality approvals and safety standards that must be prepared and provided in accordance with the regulations of the destination country.
Documentation and Permit Management
The export process also requires proper management of documentation and obtaining the relevant permits from competent authorities. These documents include commercial invoices, packing lists, quality certificates, and supplier establishment documentation. Coordination with customs and relevant organizations to obtain export permits is also necessary.
Destination Market Conditions
Exporting ABS systems to different countries requires reviewing market conditions and the specific requirements of those countries. This includes analyzing market demand, complying with import regulations, and providing the documentation required by the destination countries’ customs.
4) Major Exporting and Importing Countries of ABS
Major Exporters
Major exporters of ABS systems include Japan, Germany, South Korea, and China. Owing to advanced technologies and mass production, these countries are the main suppliers of these components to global markets. Manufacturers in these countries, leveraging modern technologies, guarantee the high quality of ABS systems and are recognized as leaders in the automotive industry.
Importing Countries
Iran, as one of the major importers of ABS systems, mainly imports these systems from Germany, China, and Japan. The rising demand for safer vehicles and the upgrading of safety standards in the automotive industry has led to increased imports of these systems into Iran.
5) Import and Export Volume of ABS
Import Volume into Iran
The import volume of ABS systems into Iran has increased in recent years due to the growing demand for safer and more advanced vehicles. Estimates indicate that thousands of units are imported annually. This upward trend is particularly due to upgraded safety standards and the need for more advanced equipment in the automotive industry.
Export Volume from Iran
Exports of ABS systems from Iran are made to neighboring countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Persian Gulf states. The export volume to these countries is also growing, and Iran is recognized as an important supplier for these markets.
6) Global Turnover of ABS
The financial turnover of ABS systems in the global market is very high, and it is predicted that the value of the global market for these systems will exceed 30 billion dollars by 2025. This significant growth is due to the increasing demand for safer vehicles and advanced technologies in the automotive industry. Countries that lead in producing and developing these systems play an important role in meeting global market needs.
7) The Best and Simplest Way to Clear
For fast and efficient clearance of ABS systems, it is recommended to use the services of an experienced customs broker familiar with the relevant laws and regulations. Leveraging their specialized knowledge and experience, such brokers can facilitate the clearance process and prevent any delays and legal issues. Also, fully preparing documentation and correctly registering orders can help speed up the clearance process. Utilizing fast-track clearance facilities and electronic customs systems will also help facilitate and accelerate this process.
