From which routes are auto parts imported?
"Economic World":
The supply of spare parts for the car has become the main bottleneck in production due to sanctions, logistical difficulties and currency fluctuations, and has played a major role in the 61% decline in the production of the assembly companies in the last seven months.
To get around the restrictions, the supply of parts is now done in indirect ways with higher cost and risk.
The sea route through the port of Khorfakan in the United Arab Emirates to the port of Shahid Rajai is one of the main import channels.
Also, the transfer of goods from the port of Mersin in Turkey and then overland transport to Iran's borders is another active route.
In the north of the country, railway and road routes are also used that face the challenge of winter weather conditions.
It was suggested to use the ability of border cooperatives to import parts, but due to the volume limit, this method only meets small needs and is not effective for mass production.
The pressure of the sanctions has now also targeted commercial intermediaries in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Hong Kong.
However, the components industry activists emphasize that the main challenge beyond logistics is limiting access to currency; Because the supply of currency from the free market greatly increased the final costs of production.
