BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 13. Iran’s product imports from Turkmenistan declined by 59.4 percent in value and 56.7 percent in weight over four months of the current Iranian year (from March 21 through July 22, 2025) compared to the same period last year (from March 20 through July 21, 2024).
The data obtained by Trend from the Iranian Customs Administration shows that Iran imported $2.47 million worth of products, totaling 1,840 tons, from Turkmenistan in the reporting period against 4,260 tons valued at $6.1 million during four months of last year.
The consignment encompassed petroleum coke, cotton fibers, and
textile substrates, among other commodities.
The non-petroleum commerce exchange between Iran and Turkmenistan
over the four-month period attained a valuation of $196 million and
a volume of 521,000 tons, signifying a 26 percent escalation in
monetary terms and a 16.4 percent augmentation in physical weight
relative to the corresponding timeframe of the previous year.
It is pertinent to highlight that the data from the Iranian Customs
Administration indicates that the total value of product imports
into Iran reached $17.6 billion, with a cumulative weight of 12.2
million tons, over the specified four-month period. The import
metrics exhibited a contraction of 14.2 percent in monetary
valuation and a reduction of 3.23 percent in volumetric weight
relative to the corresponding timeframe of the previous fiscal
year.
Iran predominantly concentrates on the procurement of critical
commodities requisite for national sustenance while instituting
specific regulatory frameworks that curtail the importation of
goods analogous to domestically manufactured items.
