Chicken and egg exports have come to a halt due to an outbreak of the highly contagious H5N8 bird flu virus at farms located in the Tehran region, according to the chairman of the Asso­cia­ti­on of Producers of Egg-Laying Hen.  “Afghanistan has banned the import of chicken and eggs from Iran since last Thursday. Iraq has also set up a ban on their imports over a week ago,” Nas­ser Nabipour was also quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.  Last week, Azerbaijan and the Iraqi Kurdistan banned the import of poultry and related products from Iran.  The H5N8 vi­rus has never been found in humans but has infected wild birds and farms in several European coun­tries over the past weeks.

Tehran, Dec 11, IRNA – Iran Air and the American Cor­­po­ration of Boeing signed an agreement on selling 80 aircraft to Iran, managing director of the Civil Avi­a­tion Organization of Islamic Republic of Iran announc­ed.  On the sidelines of the signing ceremony held in Teh­ran on Sunday, Farhad Parvaresh said the airplan­es will be delivered to Iran during a ten-year period.

The Regulations Bureau of Trade Promotion Organization of Iran has announced new directives for the import of cars.  The organization, affiliated with the Ministry of Industries, Mining and Tra­de, announced that the Vehicle Identification Number or chassis number of imported cars must be declared before the car could enter Iranian ports.  VIN is a unique code, including a se­rial number, used by the automotive industry to identify motor vehicles.  According to Financial Tribune's sister publication Donya-e-Eqtesad, VIN will make it easier to determine whether or not a car is fit to enter the country.  The new regulations have been communicated to the coun­try's customs border offices and the government warned that importers who fail to register VINs will face problems bringing their new cars into the country. Farhad Ehteshamzad, the head of Iran's Car Importers Association, said the pilot phase of registering VINs became operational on November 25 and the system would come into effect at all ports in the next few weeks.  The new program supposedly helps stop substandard cars from entering the country. Imported cars with registered VINs will also have to offer mandatory warranties to Iranian customers. The VIN registration scheme also helps stamp out illegal, independent imports and forces companies to meet international standards.
