Restrictions on realizing the import of 90,000 cars/uncertainty in the amount of the import tariff is a serious concern of importers
Meanwhile, the import of cars is approaching the implementation stage step by step, and the experts in this field still believe that the executive regulations are facing ambiguities and, in general, in the current conditions of the global economy, the realization of the import of 90,000 cars faces some ifs and ifs.
Khodrocar - Last day, Mohammad Mokhbar, the first vice president, sent a letter to the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance, the Central Bank, the Secretariat of the Supreme Council of Free Trade-Industrial and Special Economic Zones, and approved the letter of the Council of Ministers regarding the import of cars, which includes It announced the amendment of the previous letter of approval for the import of cars.
It seems that, on the one hand, with the notification of this regulation and the official increase in the number of importing companies, on the other hand, the import work will soon enter the implementation phase. This is while the amount of the import tariff is not yet known and the emphasis on the supply of imported cars in the stock market has faced serious buts and ifs in determining the final price of the car. On the other hand, the continuation of the embargo conditions of the country's economy has made the realization of imports uncertain.
"It is surprising that under the current conditions of sanctions and its increase due to the war in Ukraine, how will it be possible to import this number of cars, and definitely the cars must be imported from unofficial sources, while the world is also facing a shortage of zero cars due to the lack of chips. electronic devices, Corona and the car supply war are facing and zero car is hardly available in some countries.” Babak Sadraei, expert of auto industry told Khodrocar reporter.
"Assuming these cars are supplied from stock and surplus cars, we will witness a long story for importing this amount of cars, and in the current sanctions conditions, big companies will definitely not cooperate with Iran, so it is not possible to obtain official representation from foreign companies.” He added.
"In this situation, only the first-rate Chinese and maybe Indian companies are willing to cooperate with Iran. In the meantime, it is possible to import European cars from the channel of the surrounding countries, but there is no doubt that the number will not be high, so it will not be possible to import cars in the expected amount, but even so, the increase in the number of import companies will lead to semi-competitive conditions.” He said.
Emphasizing that competition becomes meaningful when imports are carried out in bulk, this automobile industry expert states: In a situation where each company is only allowed to import a limited amount of cars in the current market, there is not much competition and because The high demand for cars is running out. Another issue is the uncertainty of the import tariff and its supply in the commodity exchange, which is a bad alarm.
He continues: With this procedure, it is not clear at what price the car will reach the consumer, so it is necessary to determine the tariff in the first step, because otherwise it will be out of transparency, and even with the import of an economic car, Prices have increased significantly and cannot have an impact on the market.
Sadraei considers imports to be effective in the market when all matters, including the tariff, the method of obtaining foreign currency and the clarity of indirect costs, are clearly announced and he states: A car whose price is not known and as soon as it arrives, enters the stock market in The inflammatory conditions of the country, with the entry of brokers into the stock market, are bought at a higher price than the real price and sold at a higher price in the open market, which is not the main purpose of imports.
This automobile industry expert considers it reasonable to set a ceiling of 20,000 euros for the price of cars in the current situation and says: This is in a situation where it is not possible to prevent the entry of cars with prices of more than 20,000 euros in the long term, but in the current situation for Imports are economically reasonable because more cars can be imported with less currency, which can affect the market to some extent, but with the improvement of the economic situation, global relations and the removal of sanctions, it is definitely not possible to impose restrictions.
Regarding the use of cryptocurrencies in imports, Sadraei also says: Importers have definitely made investments in this field that can provide a part of the foreign exchange needs, but the amount is not large and it can be seen as an auxiliary option. Kurdistan, but its infrastructure definitely exists, but it will not account for a large part of the foreign currency of imports.
