Import

Sourcing, order registration, clearance and delivery.

Scope

Import work starts with importer eligibility, cargo admissibility, order registration and current foreign-exchange rules. We coordinate the file with the supplier, carrier and appropriately licensed specialists.

Workflow

  • Review specifications, HS classification, restrictions and permits
  • Preliminary supplier checks and review of the proforma and purchase terms
  • Coordination of order registration, foreign-exchange route and banking documents under current rules
  • Review of transport, insurance, origin, standards and quarantine documents where applicable
  • Coordination of transport, customs formalities and agreed delivery

What we need

Technical description, HS code, quantity and value, manufacturer and supplier country, proforma, payment method, shipping origin and delivery point.

Important

Order registration, currency allocation, import permission and clearance depend on current rules and competent-authority decisions and cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Key questions before trade or transport starts

These answers are a decision framework. Each file still requires current cargo, party, document and regulatory review.

Is an HS code enough?

No. The proposed code must be checked against the technical description, material, use, composition, model and catalogue. Customs and competent authorities make the final classification and requirement decisions.

What makes an estimate usable?

Exact origin and destination, weight, dimensions, units, packing, value and currency, Incoterm, cargo-ready date, HS code, temperature or dangerous-goods status and available permits. Missing data produces only a conditional estimate.

Which documents are normally reviewed?

Proforma or invoice, packing list, contract, origin evidence, transport document and insurance, plus product-specific standards, health, quarantine, environmental or other permits where applicable.

Does a free zone mean duty-free entry into Iran?

No. Entry into the zone and commercial entry into mainland Iran are different procedures. Mainland entry may require order registration, permits, declaration, valuation, duties and taxes.

Are a direct route and transit time guaranteed?

Only after every route operator confirms the booking. Train or vessel plans, terminal capacity, border queues, holidays, weather, quarantine and inspections can change the route or timing.

How are payment and counterparties checked?

Legal identity, signing authority, registration, beneficial ownership, banks, countries, cargo and end use should be screened before commitment. Screening does not guarantee payment or performance.

Have a shipment on the way?

Send us a short description of the goods, the origin and the destination. We will come back with a proposed route and an initial estimate.
