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.

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.
