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 (7–12 days, door)from ₹1,000 / kg
- Economy (12–20 days, door)from ₹750 / kg
- Min billable weight0.5 kg
- Pickup from JaipurFree at 5 kg+
Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.
Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a stack of non-precious gem-trade samples and block-print swatches for a Tehran Bazaar 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.
- Non-precious gem samples — Persian-Marwari trade material; clean to ship with item-level invoice and Melli ID.
- Personal documents — passports, originals, signed papers.
Tehran Bazaar Persian-Marwari trade, family gifts, documents.
Tehran Bazaar Persian-Marwari B2B — historic axis
Tehran Bazaar and Jaipur’s Johari Bazaar share a Persian–Marwari gem-trade axis going back centuries — Persian merchants and Jaipur gem-traders have a continuous history of cultural and commercial exchange. Non-precious gem samples, beaded jewellery components, semi-precious sets, block-print fabric, decorative non-precious metalwork — recurring monthly slots, item-level invoice and Iranian National ID of the consignee non-negotiable.
Block-print fabric & handicraft B2B
Sanganer and Bagru block-print bolts, jaipuri quilts, hand-painted papier-mâché and decorative handicrafts ship into Tehran Bazaar and Isfahan retailers. Commercial invoice with HS codes, fair-value declaration.
Wedding outfits to Iranian-Indian families
Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped well ahead of weddings to Iranian-Indian families in Tehran and Shiraz — express recommended given the longer transit.
Diwali / non-food gift parcels
Diyas, decorations, pooja items (modest pack, no agarbatti, no proselytising material). Cultural-exchange parcels go through cleanly when the declaration matches the contents.
Business documents — Tehran Bazaar trade
Signed contracts, commercial invoices, KYC, supplier paperwork for Persian-Marwari trade families in Tehran. Always express; tracked international document is faster than registered post.
Cultural-exchange materials
Persian-language Indian dictionaries, academic books on Indo-Persian history, decorative non-controversial cultural items. Welcomed by Iranian customs as culturally aligned.
Returning-traveller baggage
Iranian tourists who visited Jaipur’s palace circuit and shopped Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar — 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 Iran transit 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 Mumbai–Manama or Mumbai–Muscat. Second, Iranian customs occasionally holds parcels for documentation review. Plan for 7–12 working days express, sometimes a couple of days more during Iranian public holidays or Nowruz. We give honest ETAs at booking.
I sell gem-trade samples and handicrafts to a Tehran Bazaar buyer. What works?
Block-print fabric, papier-mâché, decorative non-precious metalwork (brass, copper craft), non-precious gem and bead samples, Persian-language Indian dictionaries — all clean to ship with item-level invoice and the buyer’s Melli ID on the AWB. Tehran Bazaar and Jaipur’s Johari Bazaar have a centuries-old trade history, so this lane runs with established Marwari families on both ends. We keep the buyer’s commercial details on file once you set up the first shipment.
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, prescription tablets, documents, jewellery, papier-mâché — all fine.
