Customs Clearance of Automatic Control Devices, Thermostats and Manostats from Iran Customs (HS Code + Documents & Permits)
The thermostat, as one of the most important temperature-control devices, is used in a wide range of applications including heating and cooling systems, household appliances such as refrigerators and ovens, and in sensitive industries such as petrochemicals, power plants, and manufacturing processes. The main task of the thermostat is to regulate and control the ambient or process temperature based on a set point. Using temperature sensors and control mechanisms, this device automatically maintains the temperature within the desired range and prevents unauthorized temperature fluctuations that could damage equipment or products. In industries where precise temperature control is critical, such as chemical and pharmaceutical production, thermostats are considered essential tools.

In the oil, gas and petrochemical industries: Manostats are used to control and monitor the pressure of pipelines and process equipment. Any pressure fluctuation in these industries can lead to serious hazards; therefore, the use of high-precision manostats is essential. Thermostats are also employed in heating and cooling processes of chemical materials to keep temperature within specified ranges and prevent unwanted reactions.
In HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning): Thermostats act as the brain of these systems, responsible for setting temperature and ensuring indoor comfort. By precise temperature control, energy consumption is optimized and energy waste is prevented. Manostats are also used in these systems to control the pressure of air and liquids so that system performance is maintained under optimal conditions.
In industrial equipment: Manostats and thermostats are directly related to the productivity and efficiency of production systems. Through precise control of pressure and temperature, they optimize production processes and prevent technical errors and reduced product quality.
2) Role in System Safety and Stability
3) Customs Tariff Code (HS Code) for Manostat and Thermostat
| Product | Short Description | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat | Temperature control device | 9032.10.00 |
| Manostat (pressure switch) | Measuring/controlling gas/liquid pressure | 9026.20.00 |
Accuracy in selecting and applying the appropriate tariff code is very important, because mistakes in this area can lead to increased customs costs, delays in clearance, and even legal problems.
4) Standards and Technical Regulations (ISIRI / ISO / CE / UL)
Iran National Standards (ISIRI): These standards are developed to ensure the safety, quality, and proper performance of equipment in various environments. All imported manostats and thermostats must comply with these standards and, if necessary, obtain the required approvals from the National Standards Organization of Iran.
International standards (ISO, CE, UL): These standards set global criteria for equipment safety and performance. Compliance with these standards is necessary for entry into international markets as well as for customs clearance in various customs offices. Especially when equipment is used in specific environments or sensitive industries such as petrochemicals and power plants, technical approvals from international organizations become more important.
5) Import/Export Conditions and Global Market
Imports to Iran
Import volume: Imports of these devices depend on domestic needs and the growth of various industries in Iran. Especially in the oil and gas industries, the demand for these devices is always high. In recent years, with the development of infrastructure and industrial projects, the demand for high-quality manostats and thermostats has increased.
Exports from Iran
Export market: With infrastructure development and increasing demand in these countries, Iran’s export market for manostats and thermostats is continuously expanding. Strengthening trade cooperation and concluding long-term contracts with neighboring countries can help further growth in exports of these products.
Global market and trade value
Market value: Due to the high importance of control equipment in various industries, this market experiences significant annual growth. The total value of global trade in manostats and thermostats reaches billions of dollars per year, and this growth is expected to continue in the coming years.
Global demand: Increasing demand for precise and high-quality control equipment in various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, automotive, and electronics, is one of the main reasons for the growth of the global market for these devices. In addition, the development of new technologies and the need for industrial automation have increased demand for advanced manostats and thermostats.
