Starting rates. Real pricing depends on weight.
Iran rates run higher than other Gulf countries because the air leg uses sanctions-compliant trans-shipment routing and partner-network handling. Final price depends on actual or volumetric weight (whichever is greater) plus the international fuel surcharge in force on your booking date. GST is extra.
Starting per-kg rates
- Express (8–13 days, door)from ₹1,000 / kg
- Economy (14–21 days, door)from ₹750 / kg
- Min billable weight0.5 kg
- Pickup from JodhpurFree at 5 kg+
Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.
Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say antique-replica fitting samples and handicraft swatches for a Tehran villa-import buyer:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,000≈ ₹2,000
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹500
- + GST 18%≈ ₹450
- Approx total, express≈ ₹3,300
Indicative only. Sanctions-route surcharges and fuel can shift; we re-quote at booking.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Iran needs more documentation than other Gulf lanes — sanctions compliance plus strict Iranian customs requirements mean every detail matters. We walk you through it before pickup.
KYC of the sender
One photo ID for the person whose name is on the AWB — Aadhaar, passport or driving licence. We photograph it at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Sender declaration form
A signed sender declaration confirming the parcel contents, that none of it falls under US/EU export-control or sanctioned-list categories (no dual-use items, no restricted electronics). We provide the template.
Commercial invoice
Detailed item-level pricing — generic descriptions get held up. Iranian customs verifies value declarations against item type. For gifts, list each item with a fair value.
Recipient Iranian National ID
Melli card number for the consignee on the AWB. Without it the parcel does not clear. Confirm with the recipient before pickup.
Prescription (medicines)
Tablets going to a family member: copy of the prescription, sealed strips, no liquids, no controlled substances. Iran’s pharma sector is decent but imports tightly controlled — small quantities, well-documented.
What Iran doesn’t let in.
Iran has both Sharia-state restrictions and sanctions-driven restrictions. Some items are banned under Iranian law; others are banned because the air-route partner network won’t carry them. Both lists matter.
Don’t even try
- Alcohol — zero tolerance. This is a Sharia state.
- Pork and pork products — banned outright.
- US-sanctioned electronics — laptops, phones, devices with US export-controlled chips are not carried by the partner network.
- Encryption-enabled hardware — beyond consumer-phone level, restricted under sanctions and Iranian regulation.
- CBD, cannabis, recreational drugs — Iran has the death penalty for trafficking. Don’t even ask.
- Western religious-promotional materials — Christian, Hindu, etc. proselytising materials are flagged.
- Bahá’í faith materials — specific Iran ban.
- Israeli-origin products — flagged at customs.
- Satellite-broadcast equipment — NIDS-controlled (dishes, decoders).
- Aerosols and pressurised cans — air-leg restricted.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Textiles, sarees, lehengas — declare a fair value, item-level descriptions.
- Books — non-controversial titles; Persian-language Indian dictionaries and cultural-exchange material are welcomed. Avoid materials critical of the Iranian regime, Bahá’í, or anti-Islamic.
- Sealed dry sweets — factory-sealed, Halal-compatible.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, copy of Rx, recipient National ID. No injectables.
- Non-precious jewellery, papier-mâché — declare make, fair value.
- Antique-furniture replicas, treated leather — declare clearly with treatment certificates for leather and wood.
- Personal documents — passports, originals, signed papers.
Antique-replica B2B, handicraft, leather, Tehran-Bazaar documents.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B to Tehran villa-imports
Jodhpur’s antique-furniture-replica industry has buyers in Tehran among villa-importers and interior-design houses — decorative pieces, mirror frames, hand-carved panels, cabinet-fittings from Boranada and Sangaria workshops. Recurring B2B with item-level commercial invoice, HS codes and Melli ID of the consignee.
Handicraft & decorative arts
Jodhpuri lac bangles, blue-pottery accents, hand-carved wooden bowls (with treatment certificates), embroidered textiles. B2B for interior-design houses and gift retailers in Tehran and Shiraz.
Leather goods (treated, certified)
Jodhpur’s leather industry — bags, sandals, juttis, decorative items — ships into Tehran with treatment certificates. Avoid raw or unclear leather; Iranian customs flags untreated hides.
Wedding outfits & Marwari embroidery
Bandhej, bandhani, traditional Marwari embroidery sets ship ahead of weddings to Iranian-Indian families. Express recommended given the longer transit.
Business documents — Tehran Bazaar trade
Signed contracts, commercial invoices, KYC, supplier paperwork for Tehran Bazaar trade families and villa-imports buyers. Always express; tracked international document is faster than registered post.
Cultural-exchange materials
Persian-language Indian dictionaries, academic books on Indo-Persian craft history. Welcomed by Iranian customs as culturally aligned.
Returning-traveller baggage
Iranian tourists who completed the Rajasthan circuit and shopped Sardar Market and Clock Tower bazaars in Jodhpur. Picked from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly out.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.
The moment the parcel is booked into DTDC International, we send you the AWB number on WhatsApp. Type it into the public tracker at dtdc.in any time. On Iran lanes the partner-network handover may show a one-day gap in tracking events; we proactively confirm position with the partner and update you. POD on delivery.
Asked most often.
Why is Jodhpur transit a day longer than Jaipur to Iran?
Jodhpur parcels road-feeder to Mumbai (~960 km) or Delhi (~600 km) before the international air leg via the sanctions-compliant partner network to IKA Tehran. That feeder day stacks on top of the partner-routing variability, hence 8–13 working days door-to-door instead of 7–12 from Jaipur. We give honest ETAs at booking.
I sell antique-furniture replicas and handicrafts to a Tehran buyer. What works?
Hand-carved panels, mirror frames, decorative non-precious metalwork (brass, copper craft), papier-mâché, treated-leather pieces, embroidered textiles — all clean to ship with item-level commercial invoice, HS codes (we draft the first one), the buyer’s Melli ID on the AWB, and treatment certificates for wood and leather. Once the buyer’s details are on file, recurring sends are straightforward.
What can’t I ship to Iran because of sanctions?
US-export-controlled electronics — laptops, phones with restricted chips, encryption hardware above consumer-phone level — are not carried on this lane. Anything that the US BIS or EU dual-use list flags is out. Practically: don’t ship laptops, professional cameras, drones, GPS units, satellite receivers. Textiles, books, handicrafts, treated leather, antique-replicas, prescription tablets, documents — all fine.
