Ambiguities of the car import regulations/questions that remained unanswered
After 4 months of hammering, the car import regulation has been approved by the Cabinet of Ministers. This 9-point directive is full of ambiguities and unanswered questions that have raised the voices of experts and activists in this field.
Khodrocar - the ambiguities of the car import regulation, which is full of ambiguity and defects, not only did not recognize the official and unofficial companies and importers and did not specify their duties in the new regulation, but also did not clearly announce who was authorized to import the car. and which company will provide after-sales services for imported cars. At the same time, the mechanism for which brand each individual and company will be allowed to import has not been specified.
Another problem with this regulation is the sale of imported cars in the commodity exchange. According to this regulation, a working group under the responsibility of the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and the National Planning and Budget Organization is required to determine the commercial profit rate of imported cars in terms of value in such a way that the difference between the base price and the final price in the commodity exchange is equivalent to a fair profit.
This section of the regulations is a situation where capital market experts see many problems with this and they believe that the entry of cars into the stock market will be a new story for brokers and brokers, because an ordinary person will not be able to buy a car in the stock market easily. Not every user can easily get the exchange code and purchase.
In this situation, only the owners of the stock code will be able to buy imported cars, and this group of people will determine the final price by buying these cars, and by offering them in the market at their suggested price, they will cause inflammation in the market.
Criticizing this weak regulation, the official announcement of which took more than 4 months, the experts of the automobile industry not only consider the one billion dollar credit ceiling for this plan not enough, but also emphasize that the importer's profit is only in more expensive cars. That is, 20 thousand euros will be provided, so with these conditions, it is expected that a maximum of 50 thousand cars will enter the country with the clauses provided in this regulation, which will not have any impact on the car market.
In one of the clauses of this 9-clause regulation, it is emphasized that the import of passenger cars as foreign investment is allowed for use in the public transportation network, meanwhile, the activists of this field criticize this clause and emphasize that if the import is subject to discussion Investment in production and increase in production, import will not be possible. According to them, the calculation of the total value of current production cars shows that production cars originally had and have much more value than CBU cars, so this paragraph of this regulation needs to be reviewed and revised.
According to Khodrocar, these cases are only examples of the ambiguities of this regulation, and the flaws in it have other dimensions. It seems that the lack of clarification is one of the main problems of this matter, because for example, the method of providing foreign currency for imported cars and also crypto assets has not been clearly explained, while the head of the Central Bank recently emphasized that this authority should provide the method of providing foreign currency. Need to monitor the import of cars.
