1) Applications of Electric Cookers and Grills

Due to their versatile functionality and advanced features, electric cookers and grills are widely used in households, restaurants, fast food outlets, cafes, and even hotels. These appliances can cook a wide variety of foods such as kebabs, steaks, fish, vegetables, bread, pizza, and similar dishes evenly and with high quality. Some models are multifunctional, offering grilling, oil-free frying, and steaming, enabling the preparation of healthier and more diverse meals. In addition, thanks to precise and consistent temperature control, these devices prevent undercooking or burning, thus preserving the nutrients in food.

2) Customs Tariff and HS Code for Electric Cookers and Grills

For importing electric cookers and grills into any country, knowing the customs tariff and related HS (Harmonized System) codes is essential. HS codes, as a global classification system, play a key role in determining duties and tariffs. Electric cookers and grills are usually classified under HS codes 85166000 (electric cooking appliances) and 85167970 (other electric heating appliances). These codes provide accurate information about the type and use of the product and assist customs experts in determining customs value and calculating related duties. They are also used in preparing commercial documents such as invoices and customs declarations.

3) Key Points in Clearance of Electric Cookers and Grills

Accurate and valid labeling: Proper product labeling is a main requirement for importing electrical devices, including cookers and grills. Labels must include details such as brand name, model, voltage, power, and other technical specifications, in the official language of the destination country, and comply with national or international standards. Failure to comply may result in seizure at customs and clearance delays.

Standard and safety certificates: In many countries, including Iran, importing electrical appliances requires obtaining safety and standard certificates such as CE (for imports from the EU), ISO, or other relevant certifications. These must be issued by accredited authorities and submitted to customs during clearance.

Pre-shipment inspections: To ensure compliance with quality and safety standards, pre-shipment inspections by certified companies are recommended. These inspections may cover build quality, performance, and safety. The results are submitted to importers and customs to help speed up clearance.

Preparedness for customs duties: Customs duties are calculated based on the customs value and tariffs, which depend on factors such as origin, type, and shipping conditions. Generally, imports from European countries, due to higher quality and stricter standards, often involve higher duties. Importers must calculate all costs carefully before shipment to avoid clearance issues.

Document management: Timely preparation and submission of required documents such as invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, standards certificates, and other essentials is crucial. Accurate and complete documents prevent clearance delays or fines.

Awareness of import/export regulations: Before importing electric cookers and grills, importers must be aware of destination-country rules. Some countries may impose special permits or restrictions, and non-compliance may result in goods being seized at customs.

4) Import and Export Conditions for Electric Cookers and Grills

Imports to Iran: Most electric cookers and grills are imported to Iran from China, Turkey, Germany, and Italy. These countries produce and export such devices due to quality, price, and variety. Importing them typically requires permits from competent authorities such as the Standards Organization and the Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Trade.
Exports from Iran: Thanks to domestic production capabilities, Iran can export these devices to regional countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Persian Gulf states. For exports, products must be packaged and labeled in compliance with the standards of the destination country.

5) Import and Export Volumes

In recent years, imports of electric cookers and grills into Iran have grown significantly, especially from China and Turkey, which hold a major market share. Exports are smaller than imports, but with increased domestic production and improved quality, exports to neighboring countries are expected to rise.

6) Major Exporting and Importing Countries

Major exporters: China is the largest exporter of electric cookers and grills worldwide, leveraging mass production and low costs to dominate global markets. Other major exporters include Germany, Italy, and Turkey. Major importers: The USA, the European Union, and some Asian countries are among the biggest importers due to large consumer markets and strong demand for household appliances.
