| Part | Short Description | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Crankshaft | Crankshaft for internal combustion engines | 84831010 |
| Camshaft (Valve Shaft) | Camshaft for valve timing control | 84831090 |
Exact subheading depends on application, dimensions, material, and final use.
4) Technical and Specialized Notes in Clearing Camshafts and Crankshafts
Quality tests: Pressure tests, hardness testing, and performance testing are among the checks that must be performed on these parts to ensure their quality and durability.
Special import conditions: Some countries may have special restrictions on exporting camshafts and crankshafts. Awareness of and compliance with these restrictions are essential in the import process.
5) Factors Affecting Customs Tariff Determination
Customs tariffs may vary based on bilateral or multilateral trade agreements between countries. For example, imports from countries with free trade or preferential tariff agreements with Iran may be subject to lower tariffs.
Customs value is usually calculated based on the cost of goods at origin, transportation, and insurance to destination (CIF). The higher the CIF value, the higher the customs duties.
In some cases, tariffs can change based on the final use of the goods (e.g., use in the automotive industry or in heavy machinery). Goods imported for specific purposes may benefit from preferential tariffs or exemptions.
Certain international restrictions or sanctions can directly affect tariffs and the ability to import these parts. Also, currency fluctuations and economic conditions can impact customs costs.
6) Documents and Papers Required for Clearance
Key required documents:
This document must include complete and accurate information about unit price, quantity purchased, goods specifications, and payment terms. The commercial invoice is the primary basis for customs valuation and determining duties and taxes.
The bill of lading details transportation specifics, including the vessel or carrier, route, weight and volume of goods, and shipper/consignee information. It is essential for customs clearance and indicates title to the goods until final delivery.
The COO confirms the country in which the goods were produced. It is mandatory for determining preferential tariffs and exemptions under trade agreements, and it helps prove authenticity and prevent fraud.
This certificate attests to quality and compliance with national and international standards. It is especially important for critical parts like camshafts and crankshafts that require high precision and quality. Usually issued by reputable inspection companies, it may include results of technical tests and quality checks.
The customs declaration is the document in which the importer must record all details about the goods, including type, quantity, value, HS code, and other relevant information. It is the basis for customs calculation and compliance checks with import regulations.
7) Technical Notes and Specific Controls in Importation
Camshafts and crankshafts must comply with international standards such as ISO, DIN, and other industrial standards. These standards ensure that parts meet the desired structural, material, and performance quality. Compliance is crucial not only for life and efficiency but also for engine safety and preventing sudden failures.
To verify quality, technical tests are mandatory. These include:
Pressure resistance test: Evaluates the part’s tolerance against pressures generated during engine operation. Adequate resistance helps prevent premature failure.
Precision testing: Ensures exact conformity of dimensions and angles with design specifications. High manufacturing precision is essential for proper function and coordination of engine components.
Durability testing: Assesses longevity under various operating conditions, potentially simulating harsh environments such as high temperatures, high pressures, and repeated impacts.
Some countries may impose special restrictions on exporting camshafts and crankshafts to Iran for reasons such as politics, sanctions, or specific trade rules. Importers must be aware and coordinate with relevant authorities before proceeding.
Export restrictions: Due to sanctions or other trade limits, some countries may restrict exporting sensitive parts to Iran. In such cases, importers should seek alternative suppliers or trade routes.
Environmental and safety regulations: Certain engine parts may be subject to strict environmental laws, including limitations on materials used or specific safety standards. Compliance is mandatory when importing camshafts and crankshafts.
Familiarity with all these points and rules helps importers conduct clearance efficiently and without issues, reducing costs and lead time while avoiding future legal and customs problems.
8) Countries and Trade Volumes
Crankshafts and camshafts are imported to Iran from leading automotive and machinery countries. Among them:
China: Given its high production capacity, a large share of Iran’s imports of these parts come from China.
Japan and South Korea: With high-quality parts, these countries hold a notable share in Iran’s market.
Germany: Due to advanced technology and excellent product quality, German camshafts and crankshafts are also very popular in Iran.
On the other hand, as a producer of automotive spare parts, Iran exports camshafts and crankshafts to neighboring countries and some Central Asian states.
With the growing needs of the automotive industry and vehicle maintenance, imports of these parts into Iran have steadily increased in recent years. Iran imports several thousand tons of camshafts and crankshafts annually to meet domestic automotive demand. In contrast, exports to the region do occur but are smaller in volume compared with imports.
