This year’s seasonal ban on rice imports has been postponed and will come into effect on Sept. 22 instead of the previously announced date (July 22), according to the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration’s deputy for technical affairs.
Mehrdad Jamal Orangi added that importers have time to go through the clearance procedures of their rice consignments until Sept. 22, the website of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting reported.
The official noted that more than 800,000 tons of rice have been imported into the country since the beginning of the current Iranian year on March 20, which shows a 20% decline compared with the similar period of last year. Around 390,000 tons of the total amount have undergone clearance.
