📌 Harmonized road transport costs in COMOSA member countries are crucial and can have significant impacts across various sectors.

🚛 The road transport cost system, introduced in 1991, requires heavy trucks with more than three axles to pay a road toll of $10 per 100 kilometers, while trucks with three axles pay $6 per 100 kilometers.

🔀 Harmonizing these costs can improve transport infrastructure and facilitate the movement of goods and services among member countries, reducing both time and transport-related expenses.

🇬🇹 Guatemala’s main imports include fuel and oil (18%), electronic equipment and machinery (14%), vehicles (7%), and plastic (6%).

💊 Other imports include plastics, iron, steel, and pharmaceutical products.

📊 These statistics offer insight into the export market of Guatemala, paving the way for further trade cooperation.

✈️ Exporting intestines to European countries, especially Germany, is a lesser-known activity in Iran’s meat industry but demands more attention due to its high profit margin.

💵 The price of exported intestines can vary up to $60 per kilogram, and the export value of this product could increase up to 100 times.

🛑 Considering that many Arab countries are not producers, offering final goods to these markets makes much more sense than raw materials.

✳️ Additionally, high energy costs in these countries make local production economically unfeasible, reinforcing the importance of supplying final products instead of raw materials.

🔄 This is especially important in countries like the UAE, which are inclined toward re-exporting goods.

✔️ Date fruit leather is a delicious and nutritious product made from dates, which has gained a strong foothold in global markets due to its excellent taste and nutritional benefits.

⭐ European, Asian, and North American countries are recognized as the main target markets for the export of this product.

💡 As one of the world’s largest producers of dates, Iran can produce high-quality date leather at competitive prices, capturing a significant share of the global market.

🍗 Frozen chicken export to Iraq is a key economic activity in the food trade, but contrary to this, chicken imports to Iraq often face challenges.

⛔ These challenges include legal, sanitary, and compliance with specific health standards.

📗 Understanding Iraq's import regulations can help mitigate issues and speed up the export process.

🔋 Patience in international trade reveals the cultural and economic differences between countries.

⌛ In Asian countries like Japan and China, establishing long-term relationships and mutual trust is crucial before any business deal, as they emphasize human values and respect.

⏰ In contrast, Western countries like the U.S. and Germany prioritize speed and short-term results, making deals faster.

📈 In the world of trade, products with fixed prices usually offer lower profitability, while products whose purchase is driven more by excitement and emotions can bring significant profits to sellers.

🎨 For example, handicrafts and pottery, due to their artistic value and innovative design, often do not focus much on price and may sell at much higher prices in global markets compared to Iran.

✅ These types of products can easily achieve ten times their domestic price in international markets.

❓ When looking to clear goods at the border, choosing the right customs broker is of utmost importance, so it’s best to select a well-connected broker.

🚀 These connections can facilitate the customs clearance process and prevent potential issues.

📚 Familiarity with a country's customs regulations and having an experienced customs broker can reduce clearance time and costs, ultimately leading to your business success.

💎 Trade between Iran and Afghanistan has significantly increased in the first four months of this year.

🏦 According to customs data, trade exchanges between the two countries have risen by 31% in weight and 38% in value compared to the same period last year.

🧮 During this time, the total trade value reached $724,075,000, compared to $523,863,000 last year, indicating a remarkable growth in the trade relations between the two countries.

📦 This increase could strengthen commercial cooperation between Iran and Afghanistan.
