PARAFFIN WAX
Major usage of the Paraffin Wax inside Iran is for the Paraffin production. Since there are many factories in Iran and the export demand for this product has increased, most of the factories were unable to provide necessary material raw both for the domestic and the exterior trade. Therefore, the Association of Paraffin Factories of Iran put in place, under the pressure, the necessary measure to charge the taxes for the exportation of this material.
Since May, 2010, there is applied a tax of 25 % to the exports of Paraffin Wax to the refineries competing on the international market. Nevertheless, the exportation continues to be made, that is why you can request us this product.
The available Paraffin Waxes are heavy, light and they are produced by Iranol, Sepahan, Behran and Oil companies.
