Iran is preparing to overhaul its border and customs procedures to accelerate the movement of goods, while seeking to expand financial and investment ties with Russia, Economy Minister Seyyed Ali Madanizadeh said.
Iran has cut the average time goods remain held at customs from as long as 10 months in some cases to about eight days, Economy Minister Seyyed Ali Madanizadeh said, as the government steps up efforts to streamline trade, remove investment barriers and shield the economy from external pressure.
