Iran predicts more than $98 million annual revenues from customs tariffs, ISNA reported quoting Deputy Head of Iranian customs Mohammad Reza Naderi as saying.

''Iran imported more than 39,000 cars last solar year (ended on March 20, 2011) and the custom tariffs influenced the revenues.'' he said.

The United States has stepped up its efforts to isolate Iran-linked commercial entities tied to nuclear program since the United Nations Security Council ordered a fourth set of sanctions against Iran in June 2010.
