Fourteenth List of Agricultural Export-Ban Exemptions

Effective from

28 July 2026

Issued by

Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade

Reference

No. 8259041

Iran’s Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, through the Trade Promotion Organization’s Export and Import Regulations Bureau, has issued the fourteenth list of tariff codes for agricultural products exempted from the export prohibition. The notice was sent to the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration for implementation.

The exemptions follow a July 20, 2026 letter from the Ministry of Agriculture Jihad’s Deputy for Trade Development, who forwarded the fourteenth list of tariff codes to the Trade Promotion Organization after his ministry evaluated domestic market conditions for the products concerned. Each item on the list is exempted from the general export prohibition on agricultural products because the assessment found that exporting it would not adversely affect domestic supply. The Trade Promotion Organization instructed that the exemptions be communicated to Iran Customs so that the listed tariff codes can be processed as approved for export.

This notice follows a separate, earlier communication of July 5, 2026, in which the Trade Promotion Organization advised Customs that, under Chapters 1 through 24 of the national tariff schedule, 15 tariff codes on that earlier attachment were not subject to the export prohibition applicable to those chapters, based on a related review of restriction rules.

Exporters and customs brokers dealing in agricultural commodities under HS Chapters 1 through 24 should verify whether their specific tariff codes appear on the fourteenth list before relying on the exemption, since the export prohibition otherwise remains in force for tariff codes that are not listed. Businesses should also monitor for subsequent lists, as exemptions are reviewed and updated periodically based on ongoing market assessments by the Ministry of Agriculture Jihad.
