The Iranian government has taken practical measures to facilitate clearance of cargoes of pharmaceutical products from all customs points of entry across the country.
In recent years, Iranian private companies have started production of biological pharmaceuticals. The country has also a relatively advanced herbal medical basis thanks to its vast floral resources.
