Customs Clearance of Irons from Iran Customs (HS + Documents, Standards and Practical Tips)
Steam irons: This type of iron, due to its ability to generate steam and remove deep wrinkles, is one of the most popular types on the market. The customs tariff code (HS Code) for this product is usually 85094010.
Dry irons: These irons are simpler and lack steam capability. From a tariff perspective, they are classified under code 85094020.
Press irons: Mostly used in industrial applications and laundries. Due to high pressure and greater contact surface, they are suitable for high volumes of work. These irons are recognized under code 85094030.
Vertical steam irons: Designed for delicate clothes and special fabrics, especially used at home and in clothing stores.

3) Technical and Legal Notes in Iron Clearance Process
Every imported iron must comply with Iran’s national standards as well as international standards. These include technical, safety, health, and environmental requirements. In Iran, the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI) is responsible for supervision. Importers must obtain and present necessary certificates before clearance. Non-compliance may lead to return of goods or heavy fines.
2. Customs valuation:
Valuation is one of the most important steps in clearance and must be done accurately. Customs value is based on the actual international market price, including purchase price, transport, insurance, and other costs. Incorrect valuation may result in re-examination by customs, causing delays and higher costs. Any deviation from real value can create legal and financial problems.
3. Import permits:
Importing some types of irons requires specific permits that must be obtained before entry. These include technical, health, and commercial permits from authorities such as the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade (MIMT) and the Food and Drug Organization (if required). Without these, customs may seize goods until permits are provided.
4. Transport methods:
Choosing the right transport method reduces costs and prevents damage. For sensitive irons, air freight is recommended faster and safer, though more costly. For larger, less-sensitive shipments, sea or land transport is more economical. Proper packaging and specialized transport systems reduce risk of damage or delays.
5. Matching shipping documents with customs declaration:
It is critical to ensure that transport documents match the customs declaration. These include the Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, and Packing List. All details must align with the declaration. Any discrepancies may cause serious clearance issues.
4) Main Exporting Countries of Irons to Iran
China: The largest producer globally and main supplier to Iran.
Germany: Known for high quality and advanced technology, significant market share.
South Korea: High quality and affordable prices, another key supplier.
