Morteza Zamanian, deputy economy minister for economic policy, said the executive directive for implementing the system would be issued next week, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance’s Shada news service.

Under the proposed mechanism, trucks carrying import and export cargo will no longer have to wait in lengthy queues at border crossings, with customs clearance procedures instead being conducted at inland customs offices.

Zamanian said the system would accelerate cargo movements, reduce vehicle waiting times at border crossings and remove obstacles to the flow of imports and exports.

He also announced that the government’s new policies would ease unnecessary restrictions on importers’ access to foreign currency, providing greater flexibility and speeding up the process of securing the currency needed for imports.

Underlining the importance of adapting trade procedures to the country’s specific circumstances, Zamanian said foreign trade mechanisms should be designed to ensure that production and the supply of essential goods could continue more quickly and flexibly.

The planned measures are part of broader efforts to facilitate trade, shorten cargo dwell times and improve the efficiency of Iran’s supply chains.
