He said that Iran and Russia face the problem of high customs duties for Iranian goods.
"There is another problem with the high customs tariffs for Iranian goods exported to Russia,” he said. “Iran sends its goods to Russia directly, rather than through other republics having tariff preferences. These rates are high for Iran. Iranian businessmen often ask us to contribute to the reduction of tariffs. They cite Russia`s relations with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan as an example."
