Nowruz Holidays in Iran

Nowruz Holidays in Iran Extended to April 5th Due to Eid al-Fitr Overlap

Nowruz, the Persian New Year, is one of the most important and widely celebrated holidays in Iran. It marks the beginning of the solar calendar year and the arrival of spring, starting on March 20th and traditionally lasting for 13 days. During this festive period, families come together to celebrate nature’s renewal, visit loved ones, and observe a range of cultural rituals.

In 2025, Nowruz aligns with Eid al-Fitr, the celebration marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. As a result, the official holiday period in Iran has been extended to 15 days, ending on April 5th. This rare overlap provides Iranians with an extended opportunity for rest, travel, and celebration.

🌐 Economic Impact and Price Changes Post-Nowruz

As with previous years, post-Nowruz price changes are expected in various sectors of the Iranian market. These fluctuations are often influenced by changes in the foreign exchange rate (forex). For importers and businesses relying on international trade, this is particularly important.

In 2025, the Iranian Customs Administration (IRICA) has revised its official exchange rate used to calculate import duties. This change will directly impact the final cost of domestically manufactured products, as many rely on imported components or raw materials.

At Chemaron.com, we understand the importance of accurate and up-to-date pricing. Due to the ongoing holidays and the evolving forex environment, we strongly recommend waiting until the end of the Nowruz holidays (April 5th) before requesting final product prices or placing large orders.
