Clearance of goods with a permit from the Ministry of Roads or a permit to transport goods
This permit is considered for shipments transported by non-Iranian fleets and includes ten percent of the freight from the origin to the customs office. In rare cases, even if the shipment was transported by Iranian ships, customs may request this permit.
The reason for this is the change of flag and ownership of Iranian ships during the sanctions, which have introduced themselves with a non-Iranian identity. Among traders and merchants, this permit is known as ten percent of the freight charges.
This permit is so vital that it is also considered one of the required documents by the bank issuing the credit. The freight is calculated based on the standard freight rate announced by the transportation organization and is based on the government dollar rate.
