BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 22. Iran’s non-oil exports to the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) grew by 22 percent during the three months of the current Iranian year (from March 21 through June 21, 2025), compared to the same period last year (from March 20 through June 20, 2024), Ilham Haji Karimi, an official from Iran's Trade Promotion Organization, told reporters, Trend reports.
According to him, Iran’s non-oil exports to the EAEU member states reached $532 million in the first three months.
Haji Karimi noted that the growth in exports reflects Iran’s strong and expanding trade ties with the union.
He added that Iran imported $380 million worth of goods from EAEU countries in the same period, reflecting a 3 percent year-on-year decrease. As a result, Iran recorded a trade surplus of $152 million with the union.
The official highlighted that a free trade agreement between Iran and the EAEU officially came into effect on May 15, 2025. “With the implementation of this agreement, tariffs on 87 percent of traded goods between the two sides have been lifted,” he said.
