The Export and Import Regulations Office of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran subsequently instructed the Center for Data, Information and Cyberspace Security Technology to apply the announced criteria for these tariff codes in the relevant trade processes (order registration, export, and clearance) within the Comprehensive Trade System.

The notice also states that any proposed new tariff codes created by the Department, following consultation with the Iran Customs Tariff Office and review by the Article 1 Committee, will be applicable in the relevant systems and in the Import and Export Regulations book once approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.
