Prepare a short brief
Sector, location, structure being considered and the decision date help us scope the work accurately.
Operational Setup
Import / Export Licensing
Trade card registration, MIMT licensing, and customs procedures for goods moving in and out of Iran.
Every commercial shipment into or out of Iran needs a registered Trade Card, an order-registration number from the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade (MIMT), and a customs declaration that survives valuation challenge. We handle the full chain — and resolve the recurring problems at the border before they delay your container.

Tell us who approves outputs and who can authorise access to records, sites or counterparties.
Check sanctions and licences
Confirm your own compliance position early; we cannot provide sanctions clearance or legal opinions.
Move Goods Through Iranian Customs
Avoid demurrage, valuation disputes, and order-registration delays with a team that handles the full chain.
Trade licensing in detail
Classify the goods before committing to a shipment
Check the product’s tariff classification, country of origin, technical specifications, end user and intended use. Import permission, currency allocation, product standards and export-control requirements are separate checks; satisfying one does not establish that the shipment is permitted. Agree responsibility for freight, insurance, customs documents and rejected cargo before dispatch. Do not rely on a fixed clearance promise: missing documents, inspection, restricted goods and banking acceptance can change both cost and delivery time.
