Cut in smuggled mobile sets on market

Following confiscation of 30 billion rials worth of smuggled mobile sets by police, the release of mobile sets with no warrantee has been decreased.
After the incident, illegal vendors have now hidden their smuggled mobile sets.
Last week, police detected 30 billion rials worth of smuggled mobile sets in one of the biggest mobile shopping centers in Tehran.
The high import tariff on mobile sets has resulted in 95% of the mobile market being in the hand of smugglers.
The cut in supply of smuggled mobile sets did not result in an increase in warranted mobile sets but increased their sale compared to previous weeks.
Vendors expect mobile set prices to fall by as much as $10 in the coming week because of cut in demand.
