With the continuous growth of infrastructure, mining, and construction projects in the Middle East, Iran has become an important overseas market for hydraulic breakers. Many Chinese foreign trade companies and construction machinery manufacturers are asking:

• Can hydraulic breakers be legally exported to Iran?
• Can exports to Iran be declared normally through Chinese customs?
• Is export tax refund available under current sanctions?

This article explains the compliance requirements for exporting hydraulic breakers to Iran, based on Chinese export regulations, UN sanctions rules, and U.S. secondary sanctions policies, while also sharing practical solutions for compliant international trade.

Can China Export Hydraulic Breakers to Iran?

According to current Chinese regulations, hydraulic breakers can be legally exported from China to Iran.

Hydraulic breakers are classified as general civil engineering machinery and are not included in China’s dual-use export control list. In addition, current United Nations sanctions on Iran mainly target:

• Nuclear technology
• Missile-related equipment
• Sensitive military or dual-use products

Standard construction hydraulic breakers are not restricted by UN sanctions and generally do not require special export licenses or approvals.

Therefore, under Chinese law, exporting hydraulic breakers to Iran through normal trade channels is permitted.

Can Hydraulic Breakers Exported to Iran Receive Export Tax Refund?

Yes.

Hydraulic breakers exported to Iran can normally use the standard general trade export process in China. Exporters can complete customs clearance by providing standard documents such as:

• Sales contract
• Commercial invoice
• Packing list
• Bill of lading
• Certificate of origin

At the same time, hydraulic breakers can generally enjoy China’s export tax refund policy. Most related HS codes currently qualify for a 13% export tax rebate, similar to exports to other countries.

As long as the trade is genuine and customs declarations are compliant, export tax refunds can usually be processed normally.

The Biggest Risk: U.S. Secondary Sanctions

Currently, the main challenge when exporting hydraulic breakers to Iran comes from U.S. unilateral sanctions and secondary sanctions.

Foreign trade companies should pay special attention to the following three compliance areas.

1. Avoid U.S.-Origin Core Components

If a hydraulic breaker contains:

• U.S.-made hydraulic systems
• American electronic control systems
• U.S.-origin CNC equipment components
• Sensitive American technology

it may trigger U.S. export control restrictions and create sanctions risks for exports to Iran.

Therefore, it is recommended to use:

• Chinese-made components
• Korean components
• Japanese components
• European components

to reduce compliance risks from the source.

2. Carefully Verify Iranian Customers and End Users

Exporters should avoid cooperation with:

• Iranian military entities
• IRGC-related organizations
• Companies listed on the U.S. SDN sanctions list

It is recommended to work with legitimate:

• Construction companies
• Mining contractors
• Infrastructure firms
• Engineering equipment dealers

Customer due diligence and document retention are essential for long-term compliance.

3. Optimize Payment Methods and Shipping Routes

Due to restrictions related to the U.S. dollar financial system, exporters are advised to avoid:

• USD settlement
• U.S. banks
• Sensitive SWIFT payment channels

Recommended settlement currencies include:

• Chinese RMB
• Euro
• Turkish Lira
• UAE Dirham

Payment collection can be arranged through:

• Kunlun Bank
• Turkish financial channels
• UAE intermediary banks

For logistics, exporters may choose:

• Direct shipping routes
• Turkey transit routes
• UAE transit routes

to avoid sensitive ports affected by U.S. sanctions control.
