In a significant diplomatic and economic development, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Iran are poised to ink a historic free trade agreement on December 25. This comprehensive accord is designed to encompass an impressive 90% of tariff lines, effectively covering a staggering 99.2% of EAEU exports.
The primary objective of this groundbreaking agreement is to substantially reduce Iran's average import tariff to an enticing 4.5%, potentially resulting in annual savings of a substantial $380 million. Beyond the economic implications, the agreement is expected to foster deeper collaboration between the nations, with a particular focus on technical regulation, sanitary measures, and customs regulation.
This collaborative effort aims to streamline product certification procedures, providing a more efficient and harmonized approach for businesses engaged in cross-border trade. By mitigating barriers to commerce, the agreement seeks to facilitate smoother trade operations, ultimately enhancing economic ties between the EAEU and Iran.
