The neighboring country had banned imports of these products from Iran via Farah terminal  in South Khorasan Province on Sept. 16, Mehr News Agency reported.

Secretary-General of Iran-Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce Mozaffar Alikhani had said at the time that the restrictions have been enforced to prevent violations of customs regulations in the absence of an online monitoring system between the two neighboring countries at the border checkpoint, according to Financial Tribune.
