Iran Sets Year-End Deadline to Clear Personal Cars Imported by Iranians Living Abroad

Iran's Trade Promotion Organization has notified customs that the ordering, declaration and final clearance of personal passenger cars imported by Iranians living abroad must be completed no later than the end of the last working day of the Iranian year 1405. Mehr News Agency reported on Monday 19 October 2026 (27 Mehr 1405) that the circular is based on Article 92 of the implementing rules for the 1405 budget, with customs offices tasked with following up implementation.

The validity of import registrations under the scheme issued after 1 Mehr 1405 must also not extend beyond the end of that year. The deadline covers more than obtaining permission: it includes customs declaration and final clearance, so permit holders must complete every stage before the last working day of the year.
