BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 14. Iran's imports of products from Russia grew by two percent in value and 6.4 percent in weight during the five months of the current Iranian year (from March 21 through August 22, 2025) compared to the same period last year (from March 20 through August 21, 2024).
The data obtained by Trend from the Iranian Customs Administration shows that in the reporting period, Iran imported approximately 1.06 million tons of products worth $561 million from Russia against 993,000 tons worth $550 million in the five months last year.
Iran predominantly engaged in the procurement of petrochemical
derivatives, agrarian commodities, glassware, and various
industrial goods from the Russian Federation.
During the initial quintet of months in the current fiscal year,
the non-petroleum trade exchange between Iran and Russia reached a
substantial volume of 2.43 million metric tons, translating to a
monetary value of $1.07 billion. This reflects a notable uptick of

percent in physical weight relative to the corresponding timeframe
of the preceding year.
