Iran works to speed up release of imported medical goods from customs
By Trend
Iran should facilitate early customs release of medical products, sanitary items and basic goods that have short expiration dates, said the head of the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI), Nayereh Pirouzbakht, Trend reports via IRNA.
"The Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran has reduced the duration of releasing imported medical goods and necessary items from a few days to a few hours in the past years but lack of cooperation had caused certain problems," said Pirouzbakht.
"There should be special cooperation between health care organizations, agricultural ministry and the customs to reduce the duration of releasing necessary imported goods," she added.
Speeding up the release of necessary medical goods from the customs would help Iran to tackle the spreading COVID-19 infection in the country.
