Electronics and General Cargo
Electronics, electrical components, equipment, and other general commercial goods can be reviewed for shipment to or from Iran. Cargo specifications should be provided in advance so that transport restrictions, packaging requirements, and available routing options can be checked.

Restricted or Sensitive Cargo

| Origin & Destination | Different origins and delivery locations require different transport and local handling arrangements. |
| Weight & Dimensions | Actual and volumetric or chargeable weight can affect the freight calculation depending on the transport mode. |

Request a Shipping QuoteHow Long Does Shipping to Iran Take?
Transit time varies by origin, transport mode, routing, gateway, border procedures, customs requirements, cargo type, documentation, and final delivery location.
Air freight is generally selected when transit speed is important, while sea freight can be more suitable for larger shipments where a longer transit time is acceptable. Road and multimodal routes can offer other options depending on the origin and current route availability.
For this reason, a realistic transit estimate should be provided after reviewing the actual shipment instead of using one fixed delivery time for every cargo.
Documents Required for Shipping to Iran
The documents required depend on the cargo, shipment type, route, and customs procedure. Common shipping documents may include:
- Commercial invoice
- Packing list
- Air Waybill or Bill of Lading
- Certificate of Origin, where applicable
- Product specifications or technical documents, where required
- Import-related permits or approvals for regulated products, where applicable
Certain products may require additional review before shipment. Powders, liquids, batteries, magnets, dangerous goods, and other restricted or sensitive cargo should be declared before booking so their transport and import requirements can be checked.
Shipment Tracking
Tracking availability depends on the transport provider and shipment type. Air and express shipments normally have carrier tracking references, while sea, road, consolidated, or multi-stage shipments may involve different tracking and status-update methods.
If you provide the shipment reference and carrier information, our team can review the available shipment status and coordinate updates when the service scope includes tracking support.
