2) Specialized Categories of Fruit & Vegetable Dryer Machines
Tunnel Dryers:
Operation: These machines dry fruits and vegetables using a flow of hot air in long tunnels. The hot airflow passes uniformly through the products, causing the water in them to evaporate.
Application: Tunnel dryers are suitable for processing high volumes and are used in large food industries that require mass production.
Vacuum Dryers:
Operation: By creating a vacuum and reducing air pressure, these machines perform drying at lower temperatures. This method is suitable for preserving quality and nutrients of heat-sensitive products.
Application: Vacuum dryers are used to dry high-value, temperature-sensitive products such as medicinal herbs and certain specialty fruits.
Freeze Dryers (Lyophilizers):
Operation: The product is first rapidly frozen and then, under vacuum, the water in the product is converted directly from solid to vapor (sublimation).
Application: This is one of the most advanced and effective methods for fully preserving nutritional value, taste, color, and texture, and is mainly used in high-quality food production such as export-grade dried fruits.
3) Importance & Benefits of Use
Longer Shelf Life: By removing moisture, fruits and vegetables are less prone to the growth of harmful microorganisms, which increases shelf life.
Reduced Weight & Volume: Drying reduces product weight and volume, which plays an important role in lowering transport and storage costs.
Quality Preservation: Using modern technology in these devices helps preserve the nutritional value, natural taste, and color of products.
Wide Applications: These machines can be used for a broad range of products from fresh fruits to vegetables and even medicinal plants.
4) Customs Tariff & Import Requirements
| Goods | Short Description | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit & vegetable dryer machines (thermal processes) | Drying/evaporation/similar operations; industrial | 84193900 |
The final subheading depends on capacity, process type (tunnel/vacuum/freeze-dryer), heat source, and industrial application.
5) Requirements & Import Steps
Proforma Invoice: The initial purchase document containing precise product details, price, payment, and delivery terms.
Commercial Invoice: The final sales document issued after agreements between seller and buyer.
Certificate of Origin: A document identifying the producing country, important for determining customs duties.
Packing List: A document detailing the contents of each package, essential for customs inspection.
Quality & safety standards:
All imported devices must comply with Iranian national standards and relevant international requirements.
Obtaining related certificates from competent bodies such as the National Standards Organization of Iran to ensure device safety and quality is mandatory.
Order registration in the Comprehensive Trade System:
Registering orders in Iran’s Comprehensive Trade System is a prerequisite for importing any industrial goods. This process helps organize and monitor imports accurately and prevents issues during later clearance stages.
These steps and regulations alongside thorough quality and technical reviews ensure that imported equipment meets high standards and aligns with the country’s industrial and sanitary needs. Compliance facilitates clearance and prevents legal issues and unnecessary cost increases.
6) Special Conditions for Importing Dryer Machines
7) Exporting/Importing Countries & the Iranian Market
Importing countries: Iran, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and other Middle Eastern countries are among the largest importers due to the growing need for food-processing equipment. Rising demand in these countries for dryer machines is primarily driven by the growth of the food industry and the need to increase efficiency.
Import & export volume to Iran
In recent years, imports of fruit & vegetable dryer machines into Iran have grown significantly. This rising demand stems from the expansion of the food processing sector and increased need for modern technologies. Although exact import/export statistics are not available, evidence indicates the domestic need for these machines continues to rise.
