In recent years, Iran has always occupied an important position in China's commercial vehicle export mainstream market. According to the latest statistical data from the China Automotive Association of Mechanical and Electrical Products Chamber of Commerce’s latest statistics, in the first half of the year, according to the country classification, Iran was ranked as the fourth largest export market for Chinese cars.
In the financial crisis environment, many commercial vehicle companies have taken Africa and the Middle East as a straw. However, who would have thought that one day, Iran is no longer a "golden holy land" for China's commercial vehicles and exports of commercial vehicles from Europe and the United States and other countries?
Recently, the Iranian first vice president announced the 11 measures to protect domestic production. Among them, including the introduction of two policies for imported vehicles, etc., Chinese commercial vehicle companies should be vigilant.
At present, China's commercial vehicles want to enter Iran at least to go through the "Three Roads."
The hardest Kaner: import license
When talking about Iran’s exports from Shaanxi Automobile’s overseas market minister, Li Jian, the first reaction was: Now that trucks are exported to Iran, the biggest difficulty is the import license. “Before, we exported trucks through local Iranian distributors. But recently, according to Iranian government requirements, local dealers must have a formal import license issued by the Iranian Ministry of Commerce in order to carry out truck import operations,†said Li Jian.
According to reports, the initiative of Iran’s first vice president to protect 11 domestic productions mentioned: Article 160 of the “Five-Year Plan Law†requires that executive departments refuse to import similar products that can be produced domestically (proposed by the Ministry of Mines and Industry, particularly The commodities agreed by the working group) are responsible for supervising the implementation; and it is mentioned that the relevant departments must comply with the above provisions when importing foreign goods, including obtaining official import licenses from the Ministry of Commerce.
Li Jian told the “Commercial Automotive News†reporter that because of the high requirements of import licenses for distributors’ financial strength and credit rating, for example, when distributors’ trucks have problems, the dealers must have compensation strengths, “therefore, the above The request led to a large number of distributors unable to obtain import licenses. Chinese companies wanting to export to Iran need to find a suitable dealer again.â€
The role of import licenses is to control the import of commodities under quotas; import controls that link foreign exchange controls; and import controls that link technology or sanitation and quarantine control. Only by obtaining regulatory quotas, foreign exchange quotas, or passing technical inspections and health quarantine can they obtain permits. It is alleged that import licenses are easily misused and become barriers to trade.
The most important navigation system is currently in operation.
These 11 measures also mentioned: Iran's industrial standards research organization should carefully review whether the imported goods meet the current Iranian standards and regulations, and some mandatory standards are implemented until March 20, 2010; and special notes: Iran Customs should Refusing to clear customs for inferior imported goods.
In response, the reporter received an affirmative reply from Liu Cui, manager of Anhui Hualing Automobile's overseas market department. She told reporters that at present, Iran's certification standards for imported trucks are being certified by the European Union. “Before, Chinese trucks were exported to Iran and there were no very strict certification requirements. Now that Iran has implemented the EU certification standards, it will take a certain amount of time for Chinese truck companies to do certification, which will definitely affect exports.â€
Why did the Iranian government explicitly state that Iranian customs should refuse to clear customs for imported goods of poor quality? Allegedly, this decision is not groundless. The Iranian best-selling newspaper “Hamshahri†has reported that between 2007 and 2008, more than 300 Chinese-made truck accidents occurred in Iran and caused some people to suffer casualties in the accident. The report also quoted the request of the Director of the Iranian National Transport Agency that the truck brand causing the accident should be recalled and prohibited from operating on Iranian roads. Once this news was published, it immediately caught the attention of the industry inside and outside Iranian truck industry, and also made the quality of Chinese trucks once again become the focus of public attention.
The Most Realistic Camer: High Tariff
Recently, the trade mission of the Iranian Embassy issued a trade warning that Iran has decided to increase tariffs on imported cars and their spare parts in order to prevent the entry of foreign cars, which makes me face a grim situation in Iran's automobile trade.
The Iranian government’s idea of ​​raising tariffs has already begun as early as February 2009. Rajal, chairman of the Iran Auto Parts Manufacturers Association, said in an interview that the world financial crisis is threatening the Iranian automobile manufacturing industry. Due to lack of funds, the prices of Iraqi-made cars and their spare parts cannot match imported cheap cars and spare parts. The struggle, such as the price of spare parts made in China, is only half the price of spare parts produced in Iraq. “Now, some WTO countries have closed the door of imports, and Iran should also increase tariffs to prevent the entry of foreign cars and their spare parts,†said Rajal.
Since Iran is not a WTO member, in order to protect its national auto industry, the Iraqi government has been using high tariffs to limit imported cars for many years. In the 1990s, Iraq’s import tariffs were as high as 300%. In order to join the WTO, in 2005, Iran reduced its auto import tariffs to 100%. In 2006, it reduced tariffs by 10% and imported parts and accessories tariffs were only 30%.
Look forward to the early recovery of the global economy
The difficulties faced by China's commercial vehicle exports to Iran are still growing. For example, as China's commercial vehicle companies enter the Iranian market, these companies begin to show signs of mutual exclusion and disorderly competition; as the profit margin is compressed, the quality of the vehicle is affected, and the product quality needs to be improved; due to the Iranian nuclear issue. "Influenced, five Iranian banks have been sanctioned, the lack of accessibility, and the narrowing of financing channels have all become resistance to China's commercial vehicle exports.
In this regard, Fu Peizhao, deputy secretary-general of the Automotive Branch of the China Machinery & Electrical Products Import & Export Association, told reporters that from the latest statistical data, Iran is still the main country for Chinese auto exports, but if the Iranian government is really determined to implement the above policy, Iran will have a It may fall out of the top five Chinese auto exporters. The relevant staff of the China National Heavy Duty Truck Group responsible for export told reporters that in the face of this situation, the global economy can only be expected to recover as soon as possible, so that the trade barriers of other countries on imported products will be reduced accordingly. “Not only Iran, including Russia All other countries are the same."
