The conflict between customs and the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade over the import of cell phones is escalating.
🔹In a critical letter to the head of the trade development organization, the head of customs saw the cessation of mobile phone registration in commercial and passenger procedures as a violation of the acquired rights of importers, and emphasized the need to continue this process.
Four key points are worth noting in this context:
1⃣_ Ambiguity regarding orders for luxury products: since the beginning of the year no orders have been given for the import of mobile phones at a price above 400 euros; Therefore, the letter's reference to permits to order such phones requires clarification.
2⃣_ Restrictions on commercial imports: In 1405, the import of mobile phones exceeding 400 euros was restricted due to the country's foreign exchange conditions and an imposed 40-day war. 3⃣_ Fight against passenger impersonators: The Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade and the Anti-Smuggling Headquarters have a joint program aimed at preventing the misuse of passenger import procedures by people impersonating travelers.
4⃣_ Acquired rights and registration: resolving the situation of phones for which customs registrations have been completed and avoiding a repeat of problems seen in 1401 are critical uncertainties in this case.
