Clearance of Cylinder Boring Machines from Iranian Customs (HS 8459.61 + Documents & Permits)
A cylinder boring machine is a highly important and widely used industrial machine in the automotive and mechanical sectors. It is used to bore, finish, and repair the cylinders of engines in cars, motorcycles, and other machinery. Given the critical importance of precision for internal combustion engine performance, cylinder boring machines play a key role in rebuilding and improving efficiency. They restore damaged cylinders with high accuracy and bring them back to original condition.
Why cylinder boring machines matter:
High-precision repair & rebuilding: thanks to their accuracy, refurbished cylinders meet strict quality standards, improving engine performance and reducing fuel consumption.
Broad applications: used in auto repair shops, engine manufacturing plants, and even on new-vehicle production lines.

Instant Free Consultation1) Detailed Description
Cylinder boring machines are used for boring, honing, and finishing cylinder bores to return geometric tolerances to standard ranges. High accuracy, the ability to work with various alloys, and fine adjustment for diameter and surface finish are key features.
In engine rebuild shops, precise tool holders, adjustable tables, and cooling/lubrication systems ensure final cylinder quality. On production lines, they improve consistency and reduce rework.
2) Types & Applications
- Single-spindle (workshop): Ideal for auto/motorcycle engine rebuild shops.
- Multi-spindle (industrial): For mass production in engine plants; higher throughput and uniform quality.
- CNC / NC models: Tight tolerances, high repeatability, and process traceability.
- Combined boring/honing sets: Integrated operations to cut downtime.

Final subheading depends on technical details (spindle power, CNC/manual, work capacity, safety equipment).
5) Special Import Conditions
- Possible need for special permits from MOIMT (for advanced/automatic models).
- Provide quality and safety certificates (CE/ISO or equivalent) alongside standard paperwork.
- Compliance with domestic industrial electrical and workplace safety rules.
6) Iran Market: Suppliers & Exports
Iran mainly imports from China, Germany, and Italy, due to their quality and competitive pricing.
Given limited domestic production, exports from Iran are modest and typically custom orders to neighboring countries.
7) Import/Export Volume & Demand Trends
Imports: In recent years, driven by growth in the auto sector and ongoing maintenance needs, imports of cylinder boring machines have increased—especially for refurbishing older engines.
Exports: Due to limited production capacity, exports are much lower than imports.
8) Global Market: Major Exporters & Importers
- Main exporters: Germany, China, Japan, Italy, and South Korea supply most global demand with advanced technology and high quality.
Imports to Iran: Primarily from China, Germany, and Italy due to quality and price competitiveness.
Exports from Iran: Limited, usually custom orders to neighboring markets.
9) Required Documents for Clearance
Commercial Invoice:Includes full details such as model, brand, technical specs, unit price, quantity, and sales terms. Incomplete/incorrect info can cause delays.
Packing List:
Detailed contents per package, unit counts, dimensions, and weights—crucial for physical inspection.
Bill of Lading:
Transport mode (sea/land/air), carrier, shipment number, and route; shows custody and delivery timing.
Certificate of Origin:
Identifies manufacturing country and affects duty rates and any preferences; issued by the Chamber of Commerce or competent authority.
Order Registration in Iran’s Trade System:
First step for imports—complete forms and submit required docs to obtain import permits. Missing permits can lead to delays or returns.
Customs Valuation:
After arrival, customs conduct documentary/physical checks and determine customs value based on the invoice and global references. Correct valuation underpins duty/tax calculation and prevents disputes.
Payment of Duties & Taxes:
After value confirmation, pay import duties, VAT, and service fees. Timely, complete payment enables fast clearance.
Final Release:
Once complete, customs issue the release order, and the machine can be dispatched. Archive all documents properly for future audits.
