Problems with trade
Despite the easing of economic and financial sanctions, Iran remains a challenging place to do business. Iran has a history of sanctions that stretch back to 1979. The majority of secondary sanctions on Iran were lifted in January 2016 when the historic nuclear agreement with Iran was implemented.
The easing of these sanctions opened up Iran to global trade, and exposed Iran as one of the world’s biggest new markets. However, doing business in Iran is still fraught with difficulty because some complex sanctions are still in place. For instance, exporting certain goods to Iran requires an export licence. It is worth noting that certain goods are prohibited from export too.
Since economic and trade sanctions were eased, investment in Iran has increased. However, issues can arise when individuals and organisations attempt to tackle paperwork and regulation within Iran itself. The Iranian government plays an important role in the country’s economy and owns much of the underlying infrastructure. As such, all of this is tightly regulated by the Iranian government.
At Blackstone, we are committed to offering a highly professional and personalised service to all of our clients. The regulation around trade with Iran is complex and difficult to tackle, but our solicitors will work with you and explain everything you need to know in order to successfully trade with Iran.
