1) What is a Combine and Why is it Important?

A combine, or harvesting machine, is a sophisticated and advanced tool that performs multiple tasks such as harvesting, threshing, and separating grains from straw simultaneously. By merging several agricultural operations into one machine, combines significantly increase productivity and reduce farmers’ time and costs. Combines are produced in various types depending on crop type and field conditions. Some combines are equipped with GPS systems and smart agriculture technologies that enable more precise harvest management. Therefore, importing modern and efficient combines into Iran is highly important and requires strict adherence to customs procedures and stages.

2) Customs Tariff Code (HS Code) and Legal Requirements

Combines are identified under the customs tariff code 84335100 in the Harmonized System (HS Code). This code is used internationally for all types of combines and helps customs to properly classify and review these machines. The customs tariff for importing combines into Iran varies depending on trade agreements, international treaties, and governmental decisions. In Iran, the customs tariff for importing combines is determined based on the type and capacity of the machine. Importers should obtain precise information on tariff rates and related conditions before proceeding, to avoid issues such as extra costs or delays in clearance.

3) Specialized Process of Combine Customs Clearance

Combine clearance is a complex, multi-stage process that requires strict compliance with regulations and submission of specific documentation. Due to the sensitivity of these machines and their direct impact on the agricultural sector, adhering to all legal and technical requirements is essential. Below is a specialized and detailed explanation of the combine clearance process:

4) Required Documentation for Combine Clearance

Clearing a combine from customs requires a set of legal documents whose accuracy and completeness are crucial to avoid potential issues in later stages. These documents include:
  • Proforma Invoice: The initial document including full information about the combine, such as price, technical specifications, and sales conditions. It serves as the primary contract between the seller and buyer.
  • Commercial Invoice: The official document indicating the commercial value of the combine and forming the basis for customs cost calculations. It must be prepared precisely and transparently to prevent any discrepancies in customs calculations.
  • Bill of Lading: The transport document providing information about the method and conditions of shipping the combine. It is used to prove ownership of the goods and determine the entry time into the country.
  • Certificate of Origin: Indicates the manufacturing country of the combine and is used to determine customs tariff rates and verify compliance with international trade agreements.
  • Relevant permits from the Ministry of Agriculture Jihad: These approvals include import authorizations for agricultural machinery, ensuring that the imported combine meets national agricultural needs and standards.

5) Standard Requirements and Technical Reviews

  • Safety Standards: Ensure that combines are structurally and operationally safe and that potential risks for users and the environment are minimized.
  • Health Standards: Ensure that combines, during harvesting and agricultural operations, maintain product hygiene and protect the environment.
  • Environmental Compliance: Combines must comply with regulations on air, noise, and other emissions, which is particularly important for diesel-engine combines.

6) Technical Evaluation and Inspections at Customs

After the combine enters customs, it may be subjected to detailed technical and operational inspections. These include:
  • Performance Testing: Assessing performance under various conditions to ensure efficiency and compliance with declared technical specifications. Tests may include engine power, threshing performance, and control system accuracy.
  • Environmental Testing: Measuring levels of noise and atmospheric emissions produced by the combine, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
  • Technical Compliance Evaluation: Verifying compliance with national and international standards in terms of structural integrity, electrical safety, and hydraulic system performance.

7) Customs Costs and Taxes

  • Customs Duty: The amount calculated based on the HS Code for importing the combine; varies by type and value of the machine.
  • Value-Added Tax (VAT): Tax applied to the added value of the combine, imposed at approved rates and forming part of the final import costs.
  • Storage Fees: Costs related to storing the combine in customs warehouses until the clearance process is completed. Calculated based on storage duration and machine volume.
  • Transportation Fees: Costs for moving the combine from the customs point to the final destination. These include domestic transport and cargo insurance.

Accurate awareness and proper management of all these costs are vital and can greatly affect the profitability and efficiency of imports.
