Iran exported $28.2 million worth of commodities to the Eurasian Economic Union member states under preferential tariffs from Oct. 27 to Nov. 29.
According to Director General of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration Mehdi Mir-Ashrafi, EEU’s exports to Iran under the preferential trade agreement stood at $166 million during the same period. 
"Imports mostly included essential goods,” the customs chief was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
The official noted that Iran’s total exports and imports to and from the five EEU member states during the period amounted to $137.9 million and $193 million respectively.
The above figures show 20% of Iran's export to EEU and 83% of imports from the bloc into Iran were carried out under a provisional trade deal.
