Saffron export rules

Saffron export in our country has its own rules and conditions. Saffron export laws are as follows:

Purchase and packaging of saffron
Receive standard certificate

Receive Certificate of Animal Husbandry (if applicable)

Business card presentation
Providing Saffron License

The Ministry of Economy and Finance has issued a new law on saffron exports since late last year that should provide the national agricultural code from which saffron was purchased if exporters want to exclude their export tax. The law caused farmers to sell their saffron to exporters for fear of being deprived of government subsidies, instead of selling their crops to dealers and intermediaries who smuggled them to other countries, and so on. The trend led to a decline in saffron exports last year. Member of the National Saffron Council said: "We urge government officials to explain the reason behind the law, which is an obstacle to the export of saffron as an economically valuable product so that they do not have to worry and if this national code is not going to eliminate them Avoid subsidies Make this clear.

Particularly the necessity to control export cargo subject to standard mandatory customs regulations:

Announcing expiry date, operating license, standard Iranian saffron mark and appropriate packaging.

If you do not have a valid standard trademark license, it is necessary to submit an export certificate from the inspection company approved by the provincial institute or general offices.

Major problems in exporting saffron

Export and foreign trade is one of the most important economic issues in all countries, and every country, regardless of its tariff and non-tariff barriers and constraints, seeks to recognize its relative advantage in the production and export of its goods and services to maximize its trade profits. . Our country is no exception to this rule, though our oil wealth has neglected non-oil exports. Meanwhile, agricultural products, including saffron in Iran, have a comparative advantage in production and export.
