According to the decision made, these goods will be subject to the preferential tariff, exempted from customs duties, as of 1st of April to June 30, 2020, Zadboum emphasized.

Head of Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI) pointed to this issue that the list has been provided according to the proposals of Eurasian Economic Union’s countries which includes food, agricultural and pharmaceutical products, adding, “import of these goods has been declared ‘essential’ due to the increased demand or short-term shortages caused by the current situation of pandemic in EAEU member states.”
