In this article, we intend to examine in detail the challenges, solutions, and legal procedures for the clearance of these three product groups, and examine the key role of a professional clearance in reducing costs and time.
The strategic importance of importing machinery and raw materials
But the process of entering these goods into the country is not simple. Customs laws are constantly changing, tariffs are fluctuating, and obtaining necessary permits from organizations such as the Ministry of Security, Standards, and the Central Bank requires continuous follow-up. Here the importance of the presence of a reliable business partner such as Tarkhish Gostar Behnam Trading Company is clear, which by mastering the process of clearance of various devices, fittings and raw materials in customs, prevents the loss of capital and time of businessmen.
Steps and key points in the clearance of all kinds of industrial devices
Imports of industrial machines are divided into two general categories of production line machines (new and used) and single devices. To support production, the government has considered a facility for importing production line machines, but the use of this facility requires going through detailed administrative procedures.
1. Determining the exact tariff code (HS Code).
The first step in clearance of device types is to determine the correct tariff code. Industrial machines include a wide range of CNC machines, textile machines, plastic injection machines, agricultural and road construction machines. Each of these devices has a special 8-digit code in the book of export and import regulations. A mistake in determining this code can lead to heavy customs fines and stopping the goods. Behnam Gostar clearance experts extract the most accurate tariff code by carefully examining the catalog and technical specifications of the device.
2. Registering orders and obtaining permits from the Ministry of Privacy
Before shipping the goods, an order registration permit must be obtained from the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade. At this stage, it should be determined whether the device has a similar internal or not. If the device has a domestic model, you may face import restrictions or higher tariffs. But for machines that do not have the technology to make them inside, the path is smoother.
3. Customs exemptions for production line machinery
One of the special services of Tarkhis Gostar Behnam Trading Company is tracking and obtaining customs exemptions for production line machines. According to the law, machines that are used directly in the production line and are not manufactured domestically, can be exempted from paying a significant part of import duties. This issue has a significant impact on reducing the total price of the device for the manufacturer.
4. Customs Value Check (TSC)
Evaluation of devices in the Customs TSC system is one of the main challenges. Customs checks the value of goods based on previous records. If the value declared by you is lower than the values registered in the system, you will face a penalty. Our specialized team defends the true value of your goods and prevents you from paying additional costs by citing valid documents and technical defenses.
Challenges and solutions for clearance of fittings
Fixtures include a very wide range of goods. From handles and hinges to drawer rails, complex door and window mechanisms, and industrial fittings, all fall into the category of fittings. The high variety of these products has made clearance of fittings one of the most technical areas of customs.
Model diversity and classification difficulty
The main problem in importing accessories is the number of items in one shipment. There may be hundreds of different models of fittings with materials (metal, plastic, mixed) and different applications in one container. Customs has a special tariff for each of these. The exact separation of these items and their correct statement in the EPL system requires a lot of precision and patience. Gostar Behnam's clearance workers with high experience in this field, carefully check and classify the packing list so that there is no problem during the customs evaluation.
Mandatory standards of fittings
Many fittings, especially those used in the construction industry, are subject to mandatory standards. This means that the product sample must be sent to the laboratory and its quality confirmed. The time-consuming laboratory process can lead to high storage costs. Tarkhis Gostar Behnam Trading Company minimizes this time with full knowledge of standard partner laboratories and sampling procedures.
Specialized process of clearance of raw materials of factories
The supply of raw materials is the vital artery of factories. Every hour of delay in the clearance of raw materials can lead to the stoppage of the production line and losses of billions. Raw materials include chemicals, polymers, metals, semi-finished parts and industrial additives.
1. Detailed analysis and nature of goods
In customs, raw materials (especially chemicals and powders) are usually sent to the laboratory to determine the nature. Customs must ensure that the imported material is exactly what is stated in the documents. It is very important to provide a detailed analysis from the manufacturer and match it with the laboratory result. Differences in chemical formulation can lead to changes in tariffs and fines.
2. Health and environmental permits
Many raw materials for food, cosmetics and health industries and even some industrial materials require a license from the Food and Drug Organization or the Environmental Protection Organization. Obtaining these permits is a time-consuming and administrative process. The technical team of Tarkhis Gostar Behnam accelerates the process of obtaining these licenses by mastering the TTAC systems and other related platforms.
3. Credit clearance and percentage of raw materials
Due to the lack of liquidity in some production units, customs has provided facilities such as credit clearance or percentage clearance for raw materials. In this method, the manufacturer can clear a part of the goods and enter the production line and take out the rest after settlement. Being aware of the latest directives related to this facility is one of the benefits of cooperating with Behnam Gostar Clearing.
Clearance costs of all types of devices, fittings and raw materials
One of the frequent questions of merchants is how to calculate clearance costs. The final cost includes the following:
- Import duties: includes commercial profit and 4% of customs duties, which are calculated based on the source of the goods tariff.
- Value added tax: 9% (or the approved rate for the year) of the total safe value of the goods and import duties.
- Port and storage fees: The cost of unloading, loading and storing goods in the customs warehouse, which depends on the volume, weight and shelf life of the goods.
- Permit fees: Laboratory, standard, inspection, etc.
- Commercial card fees and order registration: Bank and administrative fees related to currency allocation.
Managing and reducing these costs is the art of skilled outsourcing. For example, fast clearance of goods can exponentially reduce the cost of warehousing. Also, the use of exemptions can greatly reduce the cost of entry fees.

Important points in the international transportation of machinery
In addition to clearance, the issue of transporting heavy equipment is also important. Many industrial machines have non-standard dimensions (Out of Gauge) and cannot be transported in normal containers. These devices require Flat Rack or Open Top containers. Coordinating for the transportation of these types of cargo and their internal transit to the final destination is a part of logistics services that must be carefully managed. Damage to the device during transportation can cause irreparable damage, so full-coverage insurance (All Risk) is mandatory for these types of goods.
The impact of sanctions on imports and ways to bypass them
International sanctions have created challenges in the field of currency transfer and shipping documents. Many foreign sellers are not willing to issue documents in the name of Iranian companies. In this situation, it is customary to use methods such as cross stuffing or switch documents (Switch BL) in intermediary countries. With a wide network of brokers in China, UAE and Turkey, Tarkhish Gostar Behnam Trading Company offers reliable solutions to bypass these obstacles and transfer goods and currency safely. This capability is very efficient especially in primary material clearance which is highly sensitive.
