1. Commercialization of Non-Commercial Connections Project

In today's world, the boundary between commercial and non-commercial connections is increasingly fading.

As a group of businesspeople and economic activists, we have realized that many seemingly non-commercial relationships hold significant potential for creating economic opportunities, enhancing regional and global influence, and achieving sustainable development. Accordingly, we have initiated a project aimed at "Commercializing Non-Commercial Connections," where we strive to transform human, social, and institutional relationships at three levels—provincial, national, and international—into impactful economic pathways.

Project Goal:
The goal of this project is to develop and transform existing non-commercial connections into channels for economic growth, joint investment, targeted marketing, and the enhancement of material and moral benefits for all participants. This project provides a platform to link social connections (such as lawyers, professors, urban and local officials) with economic opportunities in domestic and global markets.

Project Implementation Levels:

1. Provincial:

• Identifying influential local individuals (mayors, council members, office managers)
• Holding business-social meetings to synergize between businesspeople and local elites
• Developing local markets through this networking

  2. National:

• Connecting with parliament representatives, general managers, and policy-making institutions
• Creating legal structures to facilitate business-social interactions
• Defining joint national projects with the participation of non-commercial connection holders

 3. International:

• Leveraging connections in embassies, economic attachés, and international organizations
• Establishing cross-border relationships for knowledge-based and specialized product exports and imports
• Inviting global elites to invest in joint projects

   Prominent Examples of Non-Commercial Connections with Economic Potential:

• Legal lawyers with access to decision-makers
• Local council members who facilitate urban plans and projects
• University professors with access to academic resources and research networks
• Parliament representatives with influence in policymaking
• Mayors and senior urban managers with the capacity to coordinate developmental projects

We, the members of the Non-Commercial Connections Commercialization Committee, will partner all Aradi businesspeople and foreign representatives in this immense benefit.

3. First HS Code, Then Capacity Assessment—Why Should We Not Accept Any Claim About a Product Without a Code?

Over the years, we have often heard:
"This product has a very high capacity."
"Export this product, and you'll become a billionaire."
"The whole world is looking for this product."

Many of these claims have no scientific, statistical, or analytical basis and are merely promotional hype.
The reality is that professional trade does not proceed based on rumors, hearsay, or even guesses.
Scientific trade has one important principle: everything starts with a code—the HS Code.

🟢 What is an HS Code or Customs Tariff Code?

HS Code stands for Harmonized System Code, a standardized international system for describing and coding goods.
This code, defined by the World Customs Organization (WCO), consists of six main digits (and in some countries, extended to 8 or 10 digits).

This code determines for each exported or imported product:

• The exact type of product

• The product's features and applications

• Customs tariffs and duties

• Legal regulations and restrictions

📈 Why Should We Find the HS Code Before Talking About Market Capacity?

1️⃣ Accurate Product Identification

• For example, if someone says, "Saffron has global potential," saffron has several HS codes (saffron with husk, husked saffron, powdered saffron, etc.). Without the code, we cannot determine which type is being referred to.

2️⃣ Searching International Statistics

• With the HS Code, you can search official websites like UN Comtrade, Trade Map (International Trade Organization), or customs websites of countries to see precise export/import statistics, destinations, volumes, dollar values, trends over the last 5 or 10 years, and more.

3️⃣ Finding Tariffs and Restrictions

• Without the HS Code, you cannot determine the tariff for your product in the target market, what restrictions exist, or whether its import is even allowed.

4️⃣ Competitor Analysis

• With the code, you can identify your main competitors. For example, determine whether the primary supplier of dates to Germany is Iran, Tunisia, or Saudi Arabia.

🟡 How to Find the HS Code for a Product?

✅ From online customs systems like EPL in Iran or the Iran Customs website
✅ From export consultants or Chamber of Commerce experts
✅ From global databases such as:

• https://www.trademap.org

• https://www.macmap.org

• https://www.exportgenius.in

🧭 What to Do After Finding the HS Code?

1️⃣ Global Market Search (Market Analysis)

• Annual export and import volumes

• Major importing and exporting countries

• Price trend changes

2️⃣ Reviewing Destination Country Regulations

• Restrictions, health standards, special permit requirements

3️⃣ Analyzing Real Capacity

• Ultimately, you will determine whether there is real capacity or just market hype.

💡 Practical Example

Suppose someone says: "Saffron has extraordinary potential."
The HS Code for saffron is usually 091020.
When you search this code in Trade Map:

• Import volumes of various countries

• Average price per kilogram

• Largest exporters and importers

• Growth or decline trends in imports

You will see all these details precisely.
This way, you won't fall for promotional hype or rumors.

🔥 Summary

💥 In the professional world of trade, decisions about a product's capacity are never made without an HS Code.
💥 Before getting excited and spending money, do your research.
💥 Instead of relying on hearsay, make decisions based on global data and statistics.
💥 If you don't know the HS Code or lack experience, consult with the Provincial Trustees Board.

⚖️ Trade means logic, science, and precision—not slogans.
Always first the HS Code, then capacity.
Wishing you success and prosperity. 🌟🚀
