Handicrafts export, foreign-currency import
Handicrafts exports are a symbol of every nation's culture, artistic refinements, and past. Very few people fail to be delighted at seeing Iran's handicrafts in a shop window beside Naqsh-e Jahan Square. Handicrafts exports can meet the country's growing need for foreign dollars; 289 million dollars accrued to the country from handicrafts exports in 1397 (2018/19).
Suitcase exports, according to the Minister of Cultural Heritage, make up almost half of handicrafts exports; but there is no precise statistic on them, and it is an entirely unreliable figure. In any case, if suitcase exports exist, they are a good way to circumvent sanctions!
