The Export and Import Regulations Office of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran has forwarded to Iran Customs a notice from the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad’s Trade Regulations Drafting Office and the Plant Protection Organization setting out quarantine conditions for importing edible wheat from Georgia and rolled turf from Turkey.

Edible wheat under tariff code 1001.9920, originating from Georgia, is classified as carrying medium quarantine risk. Its import is conditional on obtaining a case-by-case quarantine permit from the Plant Protection Organization, and case files must be referred to plant quarantine specialists stationed at the entry border and the clearing customs office at the time of clearance. Rolled turf under tariff code 0602.1090, originating from Turkey, is classified as carrying high quarantine risk, with import likewise conditional on a case-by-case quarantine permit from the Plant Protection Organization; for rolled turf, case files must be referred to the Plant Protection Organization at both the order registration and clearance stages.

Iran Customs has been instructed to arrange for order registration files for edible wheat under the applicable tariff code from Georgia, and for rolled turf under the applicable tariff code from Turkey, to be linked at clearance (and, for turf, also at order registration) to review by the Plant Protection Organization, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations.

Importers of edible wheat from Georgia and rolled turf from Turkey should obtain the required case-by-case quarantine permits from the Plant Protection Organization and coordinate with customs authorities regarding case referral at the applicable stages.
