H1 Foreign Goods Transit Hit 7 Million Tons, Up 22% YOY

A total of 7.03 million tons of foreign goods were transited from Iran during the first half of the current Iranian year (March 21-Sept. 22), registering a 22% rise compared with the similar period of last year, according to the head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration.
“Shahrid Rajaee Port in the southern Hormozgan Province with nearly 2.57 million tons registered the highest share of transit volume during the period,” Alireza Moqaddesi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Shahid Rajaee is Iran’s biggest commercial port and the Shahid Rajaee Special Economic Zone accounts for the highest share of all goods exported from and imported to Iran.
The economic zone, which has a loading/unloading capacity of 100 million tons per year, accounts for over half of Iran's trade and about two-thirds of total freight transit through the country.
