One. Customs tariff (HS Code)
Knitting machines are classified under HS Code eight four four seven. This tariff code includes multiple subgroups, each assigned to a specific type of knitting machine. Choosing the correct sub-code not only prevents overpayment of customs duties but also directly affects clearance time and costs. For example, circular, flat, and jacquard machines may have different tariff codes, which must be selected carefully based on technical specifications.
Two. Permits and approvals
Importing knitting machines into Iran requires obtaining various legal permits, mainly from the Iranian National Standards Organization. Additional approvals may also be required from ministries such as the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade. Some advanced knitting machines may need to undergo specific laboratory tests to ensure compliance with national and international standards. Final approval is mandatory for customs clearance.
Three. Customs valuation
Accurate customs valuation of knitting machines is critical. This valuation is based on factors such as purchase price (CIF value), transport, insurance, and other related costs. Proper valuation prevents customs issues and directly impacts duties and taxes. Any mistake may lead to clearance suspension and unnecessary delays. Valid documents and professional valuation are essential.
Four. Packaging and transport
Knitting machines, due to their size and sensitivity, require special packaging and professional transport. Packaging should protect against damage, moisture, and corrosion. High-quality materials such as durable plastics, shock-absorbing foams, and sturdy pallets must be used. Transport methods should be carefully chosen; for example, in sea shipping, measures against rust and corrosion are necessary. Choosing experienced transport companies is also critical.
Two) Special conditions for import and export
Iran imports knitting machines from countries such as:
Germany: Known for high-quality advanced machines.
Italy: Famous for innovative textile technologies.
China: Major exporter with competitive prices and mass production.
As for export, due to domestic demand and complexity, Iran is mainly an importer of these machines, with limited exports.
Three) Import and export volume
The import volume of knitting machines to Iran is relatively high due to strong demand in the textile industry. This reflects the importance and growth of the textile sector in the country.
Four) Global financial turnover and main producers/importers
The knitting machine industry is booming globally. Main producers include China, Germany, Italy, and Japan. Major importers are India, Bangladesh, Turkey, and Pakistan, heavily reliant on these machines for their textile industries.
