Customs Clearance for Various Types of Hair Dryers

Hair Dryer Clearance Steps and Key Import Notes

Hair Dryer HS Code (Customs Tariff)

The customs tariff code (HS Code) for hair dryers is primarily classified under 85163100. This code is a critical element in the import process, determining customs duty rates, taxes, and tariffs payable upon import. Accurate HS selection prevents delays in clearance and financial disputes with customs.

Essential Documents for Hair Dryer Clearance

To clear hair dryers from customs, a precise and complete set of documents must be prepared and submitted. These include:
Invoice: Shows product price, sale terms, and seller/buyer details. It must include exact details of each hair dryer type, quantities, unit prices, and total amount.

Packing List: Provides packaging details such as number of packages, net/gross weight, package dimensions, and contents. It is essential for matching physical inspection with paperwork.

Bill of Lading (B/L): Issued by the carrier confirming shipment to the intended destination. It must fully match the invoice and packing list.

Certificate of Origin (COO): Issued by the chamber of commerce of the exporting country, specifying the origin. It is vital for preferential tariffs and permit checks.

Compliance Permits with National/International Standards: Imported hair dryers must comply with Iran National Standards Organization requirements and international standards like CE and RoHS. These confirm safety, quality, and environmental compliance.

Mandatory Standards and Regulatory Compliance

Importing hair dryers requires strict adherence to national and international standards.
CE Standard: Indicates conformity with safety, health, and environmental protection regulations in the EU. The CE mark shows the product has passed essential safety and quality tests.

RoHS Standard: Restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Compliance ensures the imported hair dryer is free from toxic materials and is environmentally safe.

Failure to comply can result in seizure of goods, fines, and even returning the shipment to the country of origin.

Key Stages in the Hair Dryer Clearance Process

Import Order Registration: The first and fundamental step is registering the order in Iran’s Comprehensive Trade System. The importer enters full product specs, price, country of origin, and other required details. This must occur before any shipping/import action.

Submitting Documents to Customs: Upon arrival, the importer submits all required documents to customs officers invoice, packing list, B/L, COO, and standard permits. Customs reviews and verifies consistency with the goods.

Physical Inspection: Customs may physically inspect the goods to ensure compliance with documents and standards. Any discrepancy may require document revisions or additional testing.

Duty Calculation and Payment: After document approval and inspection, duties are calculated. The payable amount depends on dryer type, value, and selected HS code. Timely payment avoids clearance delays.

Issuance of the Release Permit: After payment and final approval, the customs release permit is issued, allowing the importer to clear and market the product. Without this permit, delivery is not possible and import issues will arise.

Import/Export Conditions and the Global Hair Dryer Market

Hair dryer import conditions to Iran and main exporting countries Imports into Iran primarily come from China, Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. China, as the largest producer and exporter, holds the biggest share of Iran’s market. Rising domestic demand has led to increased imports in recent years.

Hair dryer export from Iran: challenges and target markets Due to strong reliance on imports, exports from Iran are limited. Nevertheless, some domestic products are exported to neighboring countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Exports to these destinations are more economical due to geographic proximity and lower transport costs.

Global hair dryer market — As a key product in the home appliance sector, hair dryers occupy a significant share of the global market. Europe, North America, and East Asia are among the largest consumers. China and South Korea are major manufacturers, supplying a substantial portion of global demand.
