Tehran, Iran, August 14
By Mehdi Sepahvand – Trend:
Transit trucks from Turkmenistan will pay more tariffs while crossing Iranian borders from August 13.
Mohammad Javad Atrchian, director of tariffs and transit at Iran’s Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization, said the new raise comes as a response to Turkmenistan’s raising tariffs for Iranian trucks in recent days, Mehr news agency reported August 14.
The rate recently implemented is $1 per kilometer, the official stated, adding each truck will have to pay $270 for entering Iran from the said date on.
The new tariff is exactly in proportion to that implemented by Turkmenistan, he stressed.
