The Importance of the Role of Fabric Imports in the Iranian Market
Fabrics are imported to Iran from various countries such as China, India, Turkey, Korea, Italy, and some Arab countries. Various fabrics (cotton, nylon, polyester, furniture, etc.) have been among the main raw materials for making various accessories such as furniture, clothes, blankets, etc., and meeting this need will boost the production of fabric-related products and create employment. Some of the most important reasons why traders start importing textiles are mentioned below.
- Domestic demand supply
- Supply of raw materials for related industries
- Development of export of textile products from the country
Importing high-quality foreign fabrics and products creates positive competition between domestic manufacturers because they try to produce high-quality goods at a lower cost than foreign samples. In Iran, various industries are engaged in the production of fabric products, and the import of fabric plays an essential role in their survival.
Which Countries Import Fabric, Cloth, and Textile to Iran?
In the conditions of economic sanctions that Iran is facing and the worn-out textile machines in the country, the domestic production of fabric is not enough to meet the needs of the society, and the low circulation and high added value have caused the price of fabric in the country to increase dramatically. These factors, along with high demand, especially for black fabrics, have caused more licenses to be issued to import fabrics to the country. Most of these goods are imported to Iran from China, Turkey, Pakistan, Italy, India, and the United Arab Emirates. Of course, the volume of cloth imports from China and Turkey is not comparable with other countries, and the country's greatest need for cloth is supplied through China and Turkey. Most of the imports of this product are carried out from the sea borders of Bushehr and Khorramshahr and the air customs of Imam Airport.
What Are the Most Important Customs for Fabric and Textile Import and clearance in Iran?
Bushehr customs and Khorramshahr customs are two important sea customs for the import and clearance of cloth, for air cargoes, Imam Khomeini airport customs is also recommended so that importers can quickly and easily clear import cloth from these customs and put it on the market.
