The Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade has issued a circular prohibiting the export of chemical, polymer, and petrochemical products under current emergency conditions.

The circular applies to a defined list of products identified by their tariff (HS) codes and linked to specific producing petrochemical and chemical complexes and companies. The list spans a wide range of goods, including various grades of polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, ethylene glycols, methanol, urea, ammonia, isocyanates, and related chemical and polymer intermediates, each mapped to the tariff code under which it is classified and the company authorized to sell it.

The measure restricts export of these products for the duration of the emergency conditions referenced in the circular, affecting exporters and producers whose goods fall under the listed tariff codes. Companies and trading entities dealing in chemical, polymer, and petrochemical goods should check whether their products and tariff codes appear on the list before proceeding with export declarations.

Exporters should coordinate with the relevant producing company or petrochemical complex, and monitor further notices from the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade and Iran Customs regarding the scope, duration, and any subsequent adjustments to this export restriction.
