Abdolnasser Hemmati said of the said amount, $3 billion was brought back in the form of machinery, goods and raw materials as per CBI rules that allow exporting companies to use a portion of their overseas earnings to import their own needs or of third parties in the country, the website of the Central Bank of Iran reported.
