BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 29. Iran’s imports of goods from Georgia fell by 59 percent in value and 64 percent in volume in the first 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).
Data obtained by Trend from the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA) indicates that the country's imports from Georgia totaled $29.7 million and 9,460 tons.
In the preceding fiscal cycle, the importation metrics from the
state of Georgia were quantified at a monetary value of $72.3
million, with a corresponding weight of 26,300 tons. Principal
imports encompassed agrarian commodities, forestry resources, an
array of machinery, and ancillary components.
Data analytics reveal that during the initial quintile of the
fiscal year, Iran's commercial throughput with Georgia approximated
205,000 metric tons, with a monetary valuation of around $113
million. This represents a contraction of 33 percent in financial
metrics and a 19 percent reduction in volumetric metrics relative
to the corresponding timeframe of the preceding annum.
In the interim, IRICA reported that Iran's aggregate non-oil import
volume for the initial quintet of months reached 15.2 million tons,
translating to an approximate valuation of $23 billion. In a
year-over-year analysis, there was a notable contraction in non-oil
import metrics, with a decline of 16.3 percent in monetary
valuation and a reduction of 5.4 percent in volumetric
throughput.
Iran persists in its strategic focus on critical commodities while
imposing limitations on the importation of items that have local
counterparts, thereby sustaining an equilibrium between
international commerce and indigenous manufacturing.
