Customs of free zones becomes a subset of national customs

The head of the Anti-Trafficking in Goods and Foreign Exchange Headquarters said: “We have received a resolution from the Cabinet that the customs of the free zones be included in the General Customs.”

Habibollah Haghighi stated: “Another problem is that the statistics of goods entering the free zones are not recorded in the customs statistics of the Islamic Republic and there is no correct figure of the import set except the free zones themselves.”

He added: “In this regard, we have received a resolution from the cabinet that the customs of the free zones should be included in the general customs.” Currently, 7 free zones of Mako, Arvand, Kars, Anzali, Kish, Qeshm and Chabahar are operating as free zones.
