1) Applications of bedroom sets in domestic and foreign markets

Beyond comfort and relaxation, bedroom sets—with their attractive and functional designs—are a key element of bedroom interior décor. These products are manufactured and offered in various styles including modern, classic, and traditional. Depending on customer needs and preferences, bedroom sets are made from diverse materials such as solid wood, MDF, metal, or combinations thereof. This variety in design and raw materials has made bedroom sets one of the most demanded and best-selling items in both domestic and international markets. In line with current trends in the furniture industry, demand for high-quality bedroom sets with unique designs is growing day by day.

2) Key technical points for clearing bedroom sets through customs

1. HS Code (Customs tariff code)

One of the most important first steps in clearing bedroom sets is accurately determining the relevant HS Code for each component. This is highly sensitive because any mistake in identifying or declaring the code can cause serious issues, such as clearance delays, extra duties, or even seizure by customs. For example, beds are usually classified under HS code 9403.50, which covers beds and similar furniture. Other bedroom items such as dressing tables and nightstands fall under HS code 9403.60. Precise code selection not only helps reduce customs costs but also improves speed and accuracy during clearance.

2. Raw materials and composition

A thorough understanding of the raw materials used in bedroom sets—and how they affect customs procedures—is crucial. Materials may include solid wood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), various metals, and plastic or fabric components. Solid wood: bedroom sets made of natural woods often face tighter scrutiny and may require certificates such as proof of sustainable sourcing and specific import permits. MDF and metals: these can fall under different tariffs compared to wood and, in some cases, require compliance with environmental and safety standards. Moreover, combining multiple materials in one set may lead to a different HS classification than single-material items. In some cases, special quality checks are mandatory to confirm compliance with national and international standards.

3. Quality and safety standards

Certain bedroom sets must meet specific quality and safety standards, which may include load resistance, color fastness, fire safety, and other technical criteria. Fire safety: many countries enforce strict flammability rules for furniture. Importing non-compliant bedroom sets may be prohibited; non-compliant goods can be returned or destroyed. Environmental standards: some countries impose environmental criteria on imported furniture, typically focused on reducing emissions and using sustainable materials.

4. Required certificates and permits

Importing bedroom sets into Iran requires obtaining multiple certificates and permits, which may include material safety certificates, the national standard certificate, and in some cases environmental permits. Material safety certificate: ensures the raw materials used are not harmful to human health. National standard certificate: confirms the imported product complies with Iranian quality and safety standards. Environmental permits: if the set contains materials with environmental impact, related permits may be mandatory. These must be prepared before the goods arrive to avoid delays or legal issues during clearance.

5. Packaging and transportation

Proper packaging and transportation are vital due to the large dimensions and sensitivity of these items. Robust packaging: durable, standard packaging that protects against physical impacts, temperature fluctuations, and humidity is essential. Transport modes: choosing the optimal mode (sea, air, road) based on weight, volume, and value is key to reducing costs and ensuring product integrity in transit. Appropriate packaging not only prevents damage during shipping but also facilitates customs processes and helps avoid potential delays.

3) Special conditions for importing and exporting bedroom sets

Bedroom sets are mainly imported to Iran from China, Türkiye, and Italy. Owing to their expertise and advanced technologies, these countries hold a significant share of the Iranian market. Exports from Iran go to neighboring countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and some Gulf states. By focusing on quality and distinctive design, local manufacturers have successfully penetrated foreign markets and export their products.

4) Import and export volumes of bedroom sets in Iran and worldwide

Recent statistics show increasing imports of bedroom sets into Iran in recent years, driven by strong domestic demand for quality foreign products and growth in hotels and lodging. Globally, bedroom sets have also grown significantly due to urbanization and rising demand for interior décor products. Major producers and exporters include China, Italy, and Türkiye, while top importers include the United States, Germany, and France.

5) Documents required to clear bedroom sets from customs

Clearing bedroom sets—like other goods—requires submitting a set of documents to customs authorities. These documents facilitate clearance, ensure accuracy of product information, and confirm compliance with laws and regulations.
1. Customs declaration:
Import declaration: prepared by the importer or their legal representative, it includes full product details such as HS code, value, packaging type, net and gross weight, and other relevant data. Accuracy is essential to avoid issues during clearance.

2. Commercial Invoice:
Sales invoice: issued by the seller/exporter, it details unit price, quantity, payment terms, and other conditions. It must fully match the customs declaration.

3. Bill of Lading:
Transport document: issued by the carrier, it covers shipment details from origin to destination. The B/L type depends on the mode of transport (sea/air/road).

4. Certificate of Origin:
Issued by the chamber of commerce in the exporting country, it indicates the manufacturing country. It may enable preferential tariffs and reduce customs costs.

5. Insurance Certificate:
Cargo insurance: issued by the insurer, confirming the goods are covered during transit. Depending on policy, “All Risks” coverage may apply.

6. Inspection Certificate:
In some cases, a reputable inspection company checks the goods before shipment or at destination. This confirms compliance with required technical and quality specs.

7. Standard Certificate:
National standard certificate: for some goods—including bedroom sets—obtained from the Institute of Standards & Industrial Research of Iran.

8. Special permits:
Health & environmental permits: required if materials used in the set need health or environmental review by competent authorities.

9. Packing List:
Prepared by the exporter, listing packaging details: count, weights, dimensions, and contents of each package—assisting customs checks.

10. Proforma Invoice:
Pre-invoice stating general sales terms before shipment, used for L/C requests and to facilitate import procedures.

11. Receipt of duties & taxes payment:
Proof of payment: shows all customs duties and taxes have been paid; the clearance process cannot be finalized without it.

12. Order registration in the National Trade System:
Order registration: the importer must register the order and obtain the import permit in the comprehensive trade system.

13. Business Card (Import license):
Valid business card: evidences the importer’s legal eligibility to conduct trade; it must be valid and up to date.

14. FX approval:
Foreign exchange approval: if import is financed via NIMA or official FX, approval from the Central Bank is required.

15. Certificate of Authenticity:
Some goods require a certificate verifying product authenticity and the original manufacturer.
Submitting these documents accurately and completely helps prevent problems or delays during clearance. Partnering with an experienced customs brokerage can streamline preparation and accelerate the process.
