Agreement With Uzbekistan on Tax-Free Trucking

Iran and Uzbekistan have reached a preliminary mutual agreement to allow tax-free entry licenses for trucks commuting between the two countries.
“The agreement was reached during the visit of Iranian Minister of Roads and Urban Development Abbas Akhoundi to Tashkent,” an official with Iran Roads Maintenance and Transportation Organization, Reza Nafisi, said. 
The minister paid a four-day visit to Uzbekistan from May 30 to June 2 and discussed ways of improving cooperation with top officials there, ILNA reported.  
At a joint business forum held in Tehran in April, deputy minister of industries, mining and trade, Mojtaba Khosrotaj, said Iran and Uzbekistan are currently in talks to revise or eliminate import/export tariffs in bilateral trade.
