What Is Import Order Registration?

Import order registration is a key legal process for individuals and legal entities intending to import goods into Iran. The process requires registration through Iran’s Integrated Trade System and is completed in accordance with applicable trade, administrative, banking, and product-specific regulations. Accurate registration is essential for subsequent permits, foreign currency procedures, and import formalities.

Import Order Registration Overview

1. Import Order Registration: Purpose and Legal Framework

Import order registration is a regulated administrative procedure through which an importer records the intended import transaction in the relevant national trade system. The registration generally includes product specifications, foreign seller details, proforma invoice data, shipment method, customs entry point, transaction currency, and other required commercial information.

Registration validity is subject to the applicable regulations and the terms recorded in the system. Where a registration is not used within its approved period, extension or renewal may be required in accordance with the relevant directives.

Key Principle: All entered information must precisely match the proforma invoice and the foreign seller’s documents. Inconsistencies may lead to rejection, delay, or additional regulatory review.
