BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 25. Iran imported 103,000 tons of essential products (wheat, barley, rice, soybeans, and cooking oil) into the country on June 24.
Data obtained by Trend from Iran’s Customs Administration (IRICA)
indicates that the importation volume of critical commodities
surged by 40 percent relative to the metrics recorded in June
22.
“The escalation in inbound shipments signifies the sustained
operational capacity of all domestic sectors engaged in the
nation’s international commerce,” the statement articulated.
In the interim period of two months, the volume of Iran's non-oil
imports reached 5.92 million metric tons, with a fiscal valuation
of $8.47 billion. The value of non-oil imports experienced a

commodities for domestic consumption, concurrently imposing
specific limitations on the importation of goods that are already
manufactured within its borders.
