This report was published by the Office of Cultural, Trade, and Services Statistics of the Statistical Centre of Iran in 1395 (2016/17). This report examines the statistical trend of cultural trade in Iran in the years 1389–1393 (2010–2015) and compares it with the statistical trend of cultural trade in the world in the years 2004 to 2013.
According to UNESCO reports, cultural goods have two parts, tangible and intangible. Determining the value of tangible goods is much easier than intangible ones, but attention to both aspects is necessary for valuation in the cultural goods industry.
Iran's cultural trade includes two areas, exports and imports. According to this report, in the import sector, Iran has had a downward trend and the inflow of foreign cultural goods into Iran has decreased. The reason for this decline was a reduction in imports of cameras, projectors, and similar products. In the export sector, too, Iran exports only four items from the list of cultural goods that UNESCO has published.
