A steadily growing share of our Middle Eastern and Central Asian customers are located in Iran, making this strategically positioned market an important pillar of our China–Iran logistics network. AI Shipping China cooperates long-term with leading global and regional ocean carriers such as COSCO, OOCL, APL, EMC, Maersk (MSK), HMM and specialised regional operators. Taking current sanctions and regulatory requirements into account, these partnerships help us secure compliant capacity and competitive freight solutions for shipments from China to Iran’s main seaports, border crossings, and inland logistics hubs.

AI Shipping China provides reliable and cost-effective sea and multimodal freight services from China to Iran, using key Persian Gulf and regional gateway ports—such as Bandar Abbas, Bandar Imam Khomeini, Bushehr and nearby hubs—combined with rail and trucking connections into Iranian logistics centres including Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, Mashhad, and other industrial regions. In some cases, routings can also use third-country hubs and overland corridors, depending on the commodity and compliance requirements. Through long-term cooperation with global carriers and regional operators such as COSCO, OOCL, APL, EMC, Maersk (MSK), HMM and local partners, we secure practical routing options and container capacity on Asia–Middle East and Asia–Caspian trade lanes that can be structured in line with applicable sanctions and regulations. Whether you are shipping industrial machinery, construction materials, household goods, automotive parts, FMCG products, oil & gas–related equipment (where allowed), chemicals, or textiles, our ocean and multimodal solutions are designed to deliver coordinated handling, realistic transit times, and efficient distribution across Iran.
For urgent, high-value, or time-sensitive shipments destined for Iran, our air freight and air–road solutions offer fast and secure transportation from major Chinese airports to suitable Iranian and regional air hubs—such as Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport and other airports—subject to current aviation, security, and sanctions rules. Where necessary, we can route cargo via intermediate hubs in the Gulf or other approved locations, with onward trucking into Iran. AI Shipping China designs optimised routings and schedules to ensure reliable transit times, professional cargo handling at each airport, and minimal delays in transit, always aligned with current compliance requirements. From pickup at your supplier’s facility and export customs clearance in China, through to import handling at the selected gateway and last-mile delivery across Iran where service is feasible and permitted, we manage the complete air logistics chain. This service suits medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, high-tech components, critical spare parts, precision instruments, premium electronics, samples, and other mission-critical cargo that can legally be shipped to Iran.
Our door-to-door shipping service delivers a comprehensive end-to-end logistics solution for companies and individuals moving cargo from China directly to Iran, adapted to current operational and regulatory realities. AI Shipping China coordinates every stage of the shipment, including factory or warehouse pickup in China, export documentation and customs declaration, sanctions and compliance screening, international sea, rail, road, or air transportation via appropriate hubs, import customs clearance in Iran, and final delivery to your specified address—whether it is a commercial warehouse, distribution centre, retail store, industrial plant, free zone facility, project site, or private residence, where service is currently possible and lawful. With full shipment visibility, proactive communication, and close cooperation with vetted local partners and trucking fleets throughout Iran, we aim to provide a smooth, well-managed shipping experience from origin in China all the way to your door in Iran.
AI Shipping China offers full-container-load (FCL) shipping from China to Iran, using robust sea–road and sea–rail combinations tailored to regional realities. Backed by strong contracts with major carriers and dependable container availability on Asia–Middle East services calling at ports that connect efficiently to Iran—such as Bandar Abbas and other approved gateways—we move containers from Chinese factories and ports through to Iranian ports and onward inland. Our team arranges container bookings, supervises loading at your selected facility in China, manages export customs and sanctions compliance, and organises the main sea leg to your nominated gateway, followed by inland rail or trucking within Iran as required. FCL shipping is ideal for large-volume cargo such as construction and infrastructure materials, industrial and project machinery, complete production lines, electronics in bulk, household relocations, retail inventory, and bulk textiles that require secure, dedicated, and consistent transportation into Iran, subject to applicable regulations.
For shipments that do not fill an entire container, our less-than-container-load (LCL) and groupage services offer a flexible and more economical way to ship from China to Iran. We consolidate multiple consignments at major Chinese ports and inland consolidation hubs, arrange ocean transport to principal Iranian or regional hubs, and then use rail and trucking services to reach key Iranian destinations such as Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Mashhad, Tabriz, and other major cities where operations are viable and permitted. Once your cargo arrives at the designated hub, we coordinate customs clearance and final delivery to your consignee in Iran. LCL is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, mixed-SKU consignments, aftermarket spare parts, e-commerce orders, samples, and seasonal or project-based goods. This solution helps you keep logistics costs under control while still benefiting from professional, end-to-end international freight services into Iran, aligned with current sanctions and compliance requirements.
