FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How early should I commit for a major Tehran exhibition?+

Ideally 60 days. Hotel availability around Iran Oil Show (May) and Iran Plast (September) is the binding constraint, not booth space.

Do you handle booth design and construction?+

Yes, through three vetted local contractors. Typical 18m² premium booth runs USD 8,000–14,000 turnkey, including freight clearance for sample goods.

Can foreign companies exhibit directly?+

Yes. Most major venues (Tehran Permanent International Fairground, Shahr-e Aftab) accept direct foreign exhibitors. We handle the foreign-exhibitor registration and customs guarantees.

What about visa support for delegations?+

We issue invitation letters accepted by Iranian embassies worldwide, typically delivering visas in 5–10 business days for most nationalities.

Frequently asked questions

Exhibitions as market intelligence

A built booth — or a structured visit — beats six months of desk research

For sectors that move on relationships and physical product — industrial, healthcare, food, energy — Iranian exhibitions concentrate the entire value chain in one hall for four days. We treat the show as a sales and intelligence channel, not a branding spend.

Show selection

We map your sector against attendee profiles, exhibitor lists, and historical lead quality before we recommend the 1–2 shows worth your time.

Pre-show outreach

Booked meetings convert better than walk-ins. We run a bilingual campaign 4–6 weeks before the show to fill the calendar with qualified buyers.

Lead engineering

Standardised BANT capture, post-show qualification, and a 90-day follow-up cadence convert show contacts into pipeline.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Visit-only or built booth?+

Visit-only suits first-time scouts and competitive intelligence. A built booth is justified when your sector is relationship-led and you have product, team, and follow-up capacity ready to deploy.

When should we book the show?+

Hero booth positions go 6–9 months ahead. Standard booths can be secured 4–5 months out. Visitor programmes can be assembled in 3–4 weeks.

Can you handle equipment shipping?+

Yes — ATA Carnet temporary import, bonded entry, customs, rigging, and return shipping are managed in-house.

What does success look like 90 days after the show?+

A qualified pipeline of 8–15 active partner or buyer conversations, 1–3 signed MoUs/LOIs, and a clear shortlist for any next-stage diligence work.

Geography
India → Iran (Tehran Build Expo)

ChallengeAn Indian tile and sanitaryware manufacturer wanted a first-time Tehran Build Expo presence with quantifiable distributor leads — but had no Persian-speaking team and no local fabrication partner for the booth.

ApproachWe sourced a Tehran booth contractor at 28% below the official directory rate, ran a six-week pre-show outreach to 240 distributors, and staffed three bilingual sales engineers on the booth for the four-show days.

Outcome184 qualified leads captured; 42 distributor meetings concluded post-show; three exclusive regional distribution agreements signed within ninety days of the closing day.

FAQ

Service questions

Can you book booth space on our behalf?+

Yes. We negotiate directly with the show organiser, including hall position, corner premiums, and power/water allocation. Booth space fees are billed at cost with the official invoice passed through to you.

How early should we start planning for a Tehran show?+

Four to six months is comfortable. Prime hall positions in flagship shows (Iran Oil Show, Tehran Build, IranPlast) are typically allocated 5–7 months out, and visa lead-times for some passport holders run 6–8 weeks.

Do you handle customs clearance for booth materials and samples?+

Yes — through bonded carnet arrangements where the show qualifies, or via standard temporary-admission procedures otherwise. Customs costs are quoted upfront with no markup.

What if my home country has no direct flights to Iran?+

We routinely route delegations via Istanbul, Doha, or Dubai. We pre-book hotels in the Vanak / Tajrish corridor close to the Tehran Permanent Fairgrounds and handle airport transfers.

Can you arrange press coverage during the show?+

Yes. We have working relationships with the major Iranian trade press in each sector and arrange short-form video interviews and product write-ups for delegations that want media visibility.
