العربيةExport to Iran
Head of content
Foreign merchants and traders or Iranians living abroad are always looking for exports to Iran and trade with Iran because this area is very lucrative and profitable for them, in recent years when the sanctions of the United States and European countries against Iran became much more severe. Due to the lack of raw materials and poor infrastructure, exports to Iran increased.
In most cases, foreign exporters go for goods that are either not produced in Iran or their production is not cost-effective, and importing them requires less cost and time and more profit. For example, the production of capital goods in developing countries is not economical at all, while the cost price of the same goods in developed countries is much lower. Intermediate goods are also used as raw materials in the production of other goods. Therefore, capital goods and intermediate goods can be considered as one of the most important export goods to Iran from developing countries.
Now the question arises in your mind, what are capital goods and intermediate goods?
Capital goods refer to those goods that are unique and complex and their production is extremely capital intensive. Such goods, which are generally joint products of several companies, are used to produce other goods or provide different services. Goods such as mining tools and machines, industrial machines, production line machines, etc. are included in the category of capital goods.
Intermediate goods refer to goods that have not completed the production process and are used as raw materials in the production of other goods. In other words, intermediate goods can also be called unfinished goods. This product can be a part of another product and can become another product as a result of going through processes and changes.
It is worth mentioning that a series of goods are among the embargoed goods and their import to Iran is prohibited. If you intend to import embargoed goods to Iran, you can entrust the import process from zero to one hundred to Qoqnous Trading, so that we can import and clear the embargoed cargo for you in the shortest possible time with the lowest cost.
