Syria has banned the import of goods from Iran, Israel, and Russia, according to media reports.

Goods from Iran, Israel, and Russia can no longer enter Syria. The new Syrian authorities have announced a corresponding import ban.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing Alarabiya.

According to the publication, following the fall of the regime of the Syrian dictator Assad, Syria has witnessed a diverse influx of imported goods into local markets.

In particular, now in the capital Damascus, stores are filled with various products, ranging from Turkish bottled water and Saudi food items to chocolate candies like Twix and Snickers, as well as beverages from Pepsi and other international brands.

To support the economy, the new government has announced the introduction of the dollar in the country and approved a new set of unified customs duties, which will be reduced by 50-60%.

They also explained that the decision aims to facilitate imports to support local producers as part of efforts to enhance economic activity and stimulate industry.

It is worth noting that about a week ago, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated that at the end of January, EU foreign ministers would meet in Brussels. The possibility of lifting sanctions on Syria will be discussed at this meeting.
