To transport motherboard, you as an importer can use different ways. These ways include transportation by land, air and sea. Each of these ways has its own advantages and disadvantages.

From which countries is motherboard imported?

The United Arab Emirates is a country that exports motherboard to Iran more than any other country. This country, as a trading hub in the Middle East, can buy motherboard from producing countries such as China, Taiwan and South Korea and send it to Iran with low costs and without legal restrictions. This country, due to its geographical proximity and good relations with Iran, is one of the important markets for exporting motherboard to Iran.

But the UAE is not the only country that exports motherboard to Iran. Other countries are also active in this field. Some of these countries are: China, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong. These countries are also among the producers or intermediaries of motherboard that can supply motherboard to Iran with quality and reasonable price. But these countries, compared to the UAE, face more problems and challenges.

Some of these problems are: customs tariffs, economic sanctions, legal issues and transportation risks. These problems make the exports of motherboard from these countries to Iran less and harder. But nevertheless, these countries still form a part of the Iranian motherboard market and export many parts to Iran.

Companies such as Lenovo and HP sell the most amount of produced parts in the world. After them, brands such as Dell, Apple and Acer are in the next ranks.

The cost of clearing motherboard and other goods from customs

When you want to register your order in the system, you must first have the documents and papers related to your goods electronically available and send them for review and confirmation. In this stage, you must calculate and pay the various costs that you pay for importing goods to the country. These costs include the entry fees that are determined based on the type and amount of goods, the trading profit that is calculated based on the price of goods and the exchange rate and other side costs such as insurance, transportation and so on.

After paying the fees, you have to declare your goods to the customs and enter the necessary information in the relevant forms. At this stage, the customs can select your goods for inspection or release them without inspection. If your goods are inspected, some of your documents and certificates may need to be corrected or completed, or some of the fees may change. In this case, you have to take the necessary actions and declare your goods again. Finally, after the customs approval, you can remove your goods from the customs and send them to the desired destination.

In general, the process of releasing and exiting goods from the customs involves several steps, in which you have to calculate and prepare the fees and relevant documents in each step. These fees include the following:

Customs duties: This fee is calculated based on the type, quantity, and value of the goods and according to the customs tariff that is determined by the World Customs Organization every year.
Tax: This fee is calculated based on the type and value of the goods and according to the tax laws of the destination country. Some goods may be exempt from paying tax or have lower tax rates.
Customs tariff source: This fee is paid to determine the exact type and code of the goods and to verify the accuracy of the information provided by you. This fee is usually calculated based on a percentage of the value of the goods.
Other incidental costs: These costs include expenses such as insurance, transportation, warehousing, inspection, stamp and signature, etc. that vary according to the conditions and laws of each country.

The length of time your goods stay in customs depends on the type and quantity of the goods, the speed of submitting documents and paying fees, the number of goods awaiting inspection, and other factors. Your goods may be released in a few days or weeks. If your goods stay in customs longer than a certain period, you may be subject to additional fees such as fines, warehouse rent, transportation costs, etc. Therefore, you should try to remove your goods from customs as soon as possible.
