By reviewing the information obtained from the import of Switzerland, we find that the highest amount of imports from this country is in the four-digit code range of 2933, 2924, 2937 and 2941 in 2019. At the top of it, the HS code 2933 with a value equivalent to 7902635 thousand dollars was imported from all over the world.

On the other hand, by examining the HS codes exported to Switzerland, it can be seen that Iran has exported only two HS codes to this destination, of which code 2933 with a value equivalent to 1071 thousand dollars in 2019 and a small part of it (2 thousand dollars) It was also related to the HS code 2939.

 

This means that in 2019, it was equal to 0.01 of Switzerland's needs Supplied by Iran.
