Transit freight through Iran | Shipment review and handovers

For transit through Iran, both the loading country and final destination are outside Iran. Provide the proposed Iranian entry and exit points, commodity, packaged weight and dimensions, readiness date and handover responsibilities so Barnav support can review the itinerary.

Transit, imports and exports are different requests

An import enquiry ends at a delivery point in Iran; an export starts in Iran and ends abroad. Transit through Iran connects two foreign countries. State production origin, current loading country and destination separately: dispatch from a country does not establish that the goods were produced there.

Put the whole itinerary and handovers in one proposal

Specify collection, entry port or border, road or sea legs, exit point and the exact end of Barnav’s proposed service. Identify any vehicle change, unloading, storage or transfer to another operator, with responsibility for package condition and seal records. A suggested corridor does not confirm a sailing, an open crossing or a reserved vehicle.

Match transit documents and cold-chain arrangements

UNECE describes TIR within a customs transit framework. Confirm the applicable procedure and document responsibilities for the actual shipment. Package identifiers, descriptions and weights should reconcile across legs. For refrigerated cargo, state permitted temperature, chilled or frozen condition, reporting intervals, equipment handovers and the agreed response to delays.

Compare offers with the same scope

Check each transport leg against terminal and port charges, waiting, insurance and excluded services. Identify cargo-specific acceptance conditions and documents still awaiting confirmation. Barnav support reviews the request and proposed responsibilities; an enquiry is not acceptance of the cargo or a transport reservation.
