Iran to introduce new tariffs to boost exports in northern ports

'By introducing new incentives and reducing tariffs in our Caspian Sea ports we can enhance the volume of our exports from our northern ports,' Mansoor Arami told the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

Iran, by having access to the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman in the south has a very unique geographical position in the region and should use the great potential, Arami added.

He said that the Caspian Sea littoral states maintain good economic conditions and establishment of economic relations between Iran and these nations can help provide big momentum to the county's national economy.

'Presently, the level of trade exchanges between Iran and the five Caspian Sea littoral states is very low,' the deputy head of Ports and Maritime Organization of Iran said.

We should make the best use of the capacities we have in our northern ports, Arami added.
