Smuggling expensive mobile sets continues

“There is dramatic difference between prices of warranty-less mobile sets and legal mobile sets, so it leads the consumers to seek smuggled expensive mobile sets,” Ali Bakhsheshi told Mobna news agency.
“Enforcing 25 percent mobile sets import tariff could not stop smugglers and smuggled mobile sets are welcomed by people,” he said.
He believes that currently most mobile sets that are under 1.5 million rials (159 dollars) are hitting market via authorized importers and expensive mobile sets are imported in very limited numbers by smugglers,” he added.
He hopes that by reducing mobile sets import tariff to 10 percent the authorized dealers can distribute more expensive mobile sets.
