In terms of purpose, the research is applied, and it was conducted using a descriptive-survey method. The issue of smuggled and abandoned goods creates major challenges in the ongoing implementation of government programs, including economic, social, law enforcement, and other related matters. Therefore, this issue necessitates a comprehensive examination. Although it is not possible in this applied study to address all dimensions of goods smuggling due to the broad scope of the subject, an attempt has been made to examine various aspects of the issue within the available scope of the study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results obtained from the research sample, and generally, there was no need to employ inferential statistics. The findings of this study indicated that the Organization for Collection and Sale of State-Owned Properties acts as an institutional arm of the government in supporting domestic production. However, in some cases, through the distribution of smuggled and abandoned goods, it may become an anti-competitive institution. The adoption of modern approaches toward the exportation or destruction of such goods appears to resolve this contradiction.</strong></p> https://www.journalmbs.com/index.php/jmbs/article/download/303/223
