Customs Affairs and Goods Clearance in Qeshm Free Zone

The customs affairs of the Qeshm Free Zone Organization—officially known as the General Directorate of Customs and Transit—are carried out in accordance with the Law on Export, Import, and Customs Affairs of the Commercial-Industrial Free Zones of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
