“In the spring, 35,500,000 tons of goods worth $12.5 billion were exported from the country, without taking into account the exports of crude oil, fuel oil, kerosene and other trade done in cash. In the meantime, 8,600,000 tons of goods valued at $14 billion were imported into the country.,” the figures released by Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA) showed.

During the period, Iran's non-oil exports increased by 24.42% in weight and decreased by 8.84% in value compared to the same period last year, while imports increased by 1% and 5.79% in weight and value, respectively, the IRICA statistics further indicated.
