*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save on ground transport costs by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for 1 car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive, and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Exporting a vehicle from the United States to Iran is quite possible. As long as the vehicle's owner follows all of the restrictions and has all of the proper documentation, vehicle shipment can happen.

Having a car is a huge convenience when living in Iran for an extended period of time for work, school or residency. One can travel freely without worrying about the local currency or linguistic barriers. It can be helpful to get to know a new country on one own time in order to feel more at ease there.

The Types of Vehicle Dispatching to Select From

There are ultimately three ways to import a vehicle to Iran, but only two of them are practical methods for most. All three ways of shipping can be done with the proper documentation. The hauling methods a person will have to choose from include:

  • RO/RO shipping is the roll-on, roll-off method. This means that the vehicle must be driven onto the ship, and after it reaches its destination, it will need to be driven off. The automobile must remain empty, with the exception of a car jack, floor mats, and a spare tire.
  • Container shipping is a little more expensive than RO/RO, but it allows the vehicle's owner to ship other belongings as well. The vehicle itself, and the container can be filled with property. A container can also be shared with another person so that the costs can also be split between those sharing.
  • Air shipping is the priciest method of all. Although it is a practical way of sending a vehicle to Iran, it is so expensive that many cannot afford it.

Required Documents For Importing or Exporting A Vehicle

Vehicle shipment to Iran will require very specific documentation. Little information is given about the requirements that must be followed, but contacting the Embassy of Iran will prove to be helpful. However, one can always assume that the following documentation is necessary:

  1. Title and Vehicle Registration.
  2. Proof of Residency in Iran.
  3. License/Picture ID and Passport.
  4. Proof of Ownership.
  5. Receipt of Duties Paid.
  6. Proof of Insurance.
  7. Permit from Ministry of Congress.
  8. Bill of lading.

Along with the right documentation, the vehicle's owner must be present when it arrives in Iran. The port will not hold a vehicle, so it is vital that the owner is present on the vehicle's day of arrival.

Descriptions of Each International Transport Method

  • Container transport provides the greatest protection against outdoor elements by enclosing your cargo within four walls and a ceiling.
  • Flat rack shipping involves strapping your cargo to a flat rack or large metal frame. Once the rack is fastened, it is placed on top of the ship.
  • Roll-on/Roll-off is the cheapest form of transport. It is an open-air service available to those with large vehicles or heavy equipment that can drive onto and off of the ship using a ramp.
  • Lift-on/lift-off shipping is an open-air transport method best for dispatching large, broken-down vehicles and crated heavy equipment. A crane is used to lift the cargo onto and off the ship.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
