That is three and a half times the price of what it costs in Bangladesh.

Other than considering other factors (quality of compressors used, electronics features) I don't know how to explain this 300% price difference.

Maybe prices of local Iranian refrigerators went up after the S. Korean appliance ban there.

By the way - Walton refrigerator compressors and all parts are made in the same Bangladesh factory as the refrigerators, in-house.

I don't know if Iranian Govt. allows entry of foreign appliances from other Muslim countries....someone could make some good profit importing our stuff to Iran.

If import tariff is 100% it would still make great sense...

Iran has a ban on import of Foreign made appliances, which they put in 3 years ago, to help the local appliance industry. The ban releases this March. The ban was put in because fully half of the Iranian appliance market is made up of smuggled-in appliances. Which is bizarre but the ban makes sense.

The ban on the import of home appliances, first implemented around three years ago, has been extended and will remain valid at least until the end of the current Iranian year (March 2022), according to deputy minister of industries, mining and trade, Mehdi Sadeqi Niyaraki.

In consideration of the facts in this report, I suggest that Iranian manufacturers can reduce the prices of their compressors bought from overseas by importing these compressors from Walton in Bangladesh. We already export these to Turkey, Iraq, Greece and Eastern Europe.

Also, to reduce Iranian market LED TV prices and improve margins, Iranian manufacturers can also import LED screens and multilayer TV motherboards as parts from Walton in Bangladesh.

This would be a win-win for both Iranian TV/Fridge manufacturers and Walton.

The South Korean home appliances are going to be made in Egypt.. and distributed to MENA and Africa.. So might be for the IOT invasion of privacy..!?
