1) Applications of blenders

Applications of blenders: Blenders are used in households to prepare various beverages, sauces, soups, and other food mixtures. In addition to household use, these devices are employed in the food industry to prepare and mix materials on a large scale with high precision. For example, in the food industry they are used to produce products such as tomato paste, sauces, and purees. In the pharmaceutical industry, these devices are used to mix pharmaceutical materials and produce various creams and ointments. In the cosmetics and personal care industries, they are also used to produce creams, lotions, and other cosmetic products. Each of these devices, depending on the use case, has different designs and structures that lead to specific features and diverse applications.

2) Key points in clearing blenders

1. Customs tariff code (HS Code)

Customs tariff code (HS Code): Blenders fall under tariff code 85094020. This tariff code applies to all electric blenders, both household and industrial. This code is recognized in the global HS classification and its accurate determination is important for calculating customs duties and facilitating clearance.

2. Required documents for clearance

Commercial Invoice: This document includes precise information about the price, quantity, and specifications of the goods and is issued by the seller.
Packing List: This document includes details about packaging and the number of packages and is necessary for physical inspection by customs appraisers.
Bill of Lading: Issued by the carrier, it indicates ownership of the goods and the shipping details.
Certificate of Origin: This certificate states the producing country and is required to apply preferential tariffs or avoid additional duties.
Health permit from the Food and Drug Organization: If the blender is imported for direct contact with food, this permit is mandatory. It ensures the device is hygienically safe and meets required standards.

3. Health standards and regulations

Health standards and regulations: Blenders that come into contact with food must have international hygiene certifications such as ISO 22000 (food safety management system) or HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control points). These certificates confirm that the devices are hygienically reliable and safe for use in food processing.

3) Clearance steps and process

Order registration in the Single Window trade system: Before the goods enter customs, the import order for blenders must be registered in the national trade system. This enables closer oversight of imports, and all information about the goods—including tariff code, type, quantity, and other specifications—must be registered there.

Inspection and appraisal of goods: After blenders arrive at customs, appraisers physically inspect and evaluate the goods based on the provided documents. This includes checking the number and type of devices, their conformity with documents, and assessing the true value for determining customs duties.

Payment of customs charges: After final appraisal, import duties, value added tax, and other related charges must be paid. These costs vary depending on the goods’ value and set tariffs. Payment is usually made electronically, and once confirmed, the goods are ready for release.

Final release of goods: After paying customs charges and receiving customs approval, the goods are ready for release. At this stage, the final release permit is issued and the goods can be transported to their final destination. For faster clearance, experienced customs brokers are usually engaged to navigate the process and quickly resolve potential issues.

4) Import/export conditions and market status

Special conditions for importing and exporting blenders  Imports to Iran: Imports of blenders to Iran are mainly from China, Germany, Italy, and South Korea. Owing to mass production and competitive pricing, China is the largest exporter to Iran. European and Korean products also hold a strong position in the Iranian market due to higher quality and international standards. Exports from Iran: Thanks to suitable domestic manufacturing capacity in home appliances and industrial equipment, Iran exports blenders to regional countries including Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Gulf states.
Import and export volumes of blenders  Imports: In recent years, blender imports into Iran have been about 15,000 units per year. This volume indicates strong domestic market demand.
Exports: Exports of Iranian-made blenders to neighboring countries are estimated at around 3,000 units per year. These exports are mainly to developing economies with demand for household equipment.
Global market status  Global turnover: The global blender market is worth several billion dollars annually. China is the largest producer and exporter of these devices. The United States, the European Union, and Japan are also among the largest importers, though they meet part of their needs through domestic production.
