On Saturday, the 4th of Mahar, media in Iran reported that the ban on importing home appliances from South Korea to the country was lifted based on the announcement of the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade of the Republic of Salami.

Ali Khamenei, the former leader of the Islamic Republic, demanded a ban on the import of these products in 1400, and the government of Ibrahim Raisi implemented it.

🔸 In the letter of the Director General of the Ministry of Export and Import Regulations of the Organization for the Development of Iran Trade to Customs, published by the Fars news agency, it is stated that the import of South Korean household appliances by "border residents" no longer faces restrictions.

Meanwhile, LG and Samsung, two famous Korean brands, severed their business ties with Iran in 2017 after the sanctions imposed by the first administration of Donald Trump.

Since that year, these two companies have refused to send parts and raw materials to Iranian manufacturers, and the smugglers have resorted to large-scale smuggling of household appliances into Iran. 🔸 In recent years, the supply of household electrical appliances by these companies was done informally and was smuggled in some of the border cities of western Iran.
