Providing that anticipated fluctuations more than unanticipated fluctuations, fluctuation the export. Also these fluctuations affect on import differently. An the way that, unanticipated fluctuations in comparision with anticipated fluctuations, has mor efficacy on import. the results of this research show that negative exchange rate fluctuations (dippreciaion) more than positive exchange rate fluctuations, influence on export, but about import, it is on the facor of positive exchange rate.
