TEHRAN, Sep. 17 (MNA) – Chairman of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (TCCIMA) Masoud Khansari said on Tue. that imports of products dropped seven percent in the country in the first five months of the current year (March 21 – August 21) as compared to the same period last year.

He put the products imported into the country from March 21 to August 21 at $17.739 billion, showing a seven percent decline as compared to the last year’s corresponding period.
