In an open session of the Parliament on Sunday, the Iranian MPs ratified a measure as part of revision of the law on the fight against smuggling of commodities and currency.
According to the new law, bringing currency into Iran will entail a fine of up to double the equivalent amount of rials.
Moreover, if a person takes or tries to take currency out of Iran, he or she will have to pay a fine two to four times the equivalent amount of rials.
