A report on Iran import and export of rubber and plastic machinery

IRANPOLYMER/ BASPAR  In order to collect data on import and export of machinery, custom tariff codes, presented in table 1, perused in Tehran Chamber of Commerce website. For separation of commodities, custom tariff codes of 84775100, 84775900, and 84778000 were considered as “other”. This report includes the data in 21 March 2017 to 20 March 2018 (namely period A, equal to year 1396 in Iranian calendar) and 21 March 2018 to 22 July 2018 (namely period B, equal to the first 4 months of year 1397 in Iranian calendar).
