The article presents factual information without apparent bias, but the lack of specific details may indicate uncertainty in the situation.

Yesterday, news of a new directive indicated a new restriction on the import of mobile phones. Now, with the issuance of a new list to customs, the possibility of registering 24 models of mobile phones from brands such as iPhone and Samsung for travelers and commercial purposes has been blocked. However, this is an estimate from individuals and media, and as of the time of writing this report, a specific list of models that fall under this restriction has not been announced. It should be noted that the issue of mobile phone imports has entered a new phase after the imposition of wartime conditions on the mobile market. Although this situation continues, imports have not returned to their previous state.
