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 (13–21 days, door)from ₹750 / kg
- Min billable weight0.5 kg
- Pickup from AlwarFree at 5 kg+
Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.
Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a Bhiwadi mechanical-component sample (sanctions-cleared) plus textile samples for a Tehran address:
- 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. For Bhiwadi B2B samples, the sanctions check at pickup is the most critical step. 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. For Bhiwadi B2B: mechanical-only auto-component samples — no electronic control modules, no encryption-enabled diagnostic tools, no GPS-equipped trackers. We provide the template.
Commercial invoice
Detailed item-level pricing with HS codes for B2B. Generic descriptions get held up. Iranian customs verifies value declarations against item type.
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. Many electronic auto-component items typically shipped from Bhiwadi are NOT shippable on this lane. Mechanical-only samples are workable. 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, ECUs, electronic control modules, diagnostic tools — not carried on this lane.
- Encryption-enabled hardware, GPS units, telematics modules — common in modern auto-components; 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.
- Aerosols and pressurised cans — air-leg restricted.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Bhiwadi mechanical auto-component samples — non-electronic fasteners, brackets, machined parts, gaskets. Declare HS codes.
- Textiles, sarees, lehengas — declare a fair value, item-level descriptions.
- Books — non-controversial titles; Persian-language Indian dictionaries are welcomed.
- 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.
- Personal documents — passports, originals, signed papers.
Bhiwadi mechanical-only B2B, NCR-IT family parcels, weddings.
Bhiwadi mechanical-component B2B (sanctions-aware)
Bhiwadi auto-component cluster suppliers send mechanical parts only on this lane — fasteners, brackets, machined fixtures, gaskets, non-electronic samples. Anything with an ECU, GPS, telematics or encryption-enabled diagnostic capability is NOT shippable to Iran under sanctions. We pre-screen samples at pickup; mechanical-only is the rule. Item-level invoice with HS codes and recipient Melli ID on the AWB.
NCR-IT family parcels
Small Alwar-NCR family network with relatives in Tehran’s Indian-school staff or business community. Festival outfits, sealed sweets, kitchen tools, photo prints. Shipped from the family home.
Wedding outfits
Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas. Shipped well ahead of weddings to Indian-Iranian families — express recommended given the longer transit.
Returning-traveller baggage
Iranian visitors who toured Rajasthan and Delhi-NCR (passing through the Alwar route) and need to ship the surplus before flying out. Picked from the hotel before departure.
Personal documents
Originals, signed contracts, certified copies. Always express; tracked international document is faster than post.
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 Iran transit so much longer than other Gulf countries?
Two reasons. First, sanctions-compliant routing — the air leg goes via a partner network with trans-shipment, not on a direct DTDC trunk like Delhi–Manama or Delhi–Muscat. Second, Iranian customs occasionally holds parcels for documentation review. Plan for 8–13 working days express, sometimes a couple of days more during Iranian public holidays or Nowruz. We give honest ETAs at booking.
I’m a Bhiwadi auto-component supplier — can I ship samples to an Iranian buyer?
Mechanical-only. Anything with an ECU, GPS module, telematics chip, encryption-enabled diagnostic firmware, or US-export-controlled silicon is NOT shippable on this lane and the sanctions-compliance check at pickup will refuse it. Pure mechanical parts — fasteners, brackets, machined fixtures, gaskets, hosing samples — are workable with item-level invoice, HS codes, sender declaration confirming no dual-use content, and the buyer’s Melli ID on the AWB. Be honest at pickup; we cannot send what we don’t know is in the parcel.
What can’t I ship to Iran because of sanctions?
US-export-controlled electronics, encryption hardware above consumer-phone level, GPS modules, drones, professional cameras, satellite receivers, anything that the US BIS or EU dual-use list flags. Practically: don’t ship laptops, telematics units, modern auto ECUs. Textiles, books, handicrafts, prescription tablets, documents, jewellery, papier-mâché, mechanical-only auto-components — all fine.
