Iran, Islamic Republic of - 2 Logistics Infrastructure
Overview
Iran has a diverse and well-connected logistics infrastructure. The country features an extensive road network, efficient railways, and major ports like Bandar Abbas and Shahid Rajaee Port facilitating maritime trade. Tehran's airports, particularly Imam Khomeini International Airport, serve as crucial hubs for air cargo. Customs procedures have been undergoing digitalization to streamline clearance processes, and Iran's participation in regional trade agreements impacts logistics. The presence of distribution centers, warehouses, and Free Trade Zones supports storage and distribution activities. Efforts to integrate digital technologies aim to enhance efficiency and real-time tracking. However, economic sanctions and the need for continuous infrastructure maintenance challenge the sector's development.

Customs Guidance
At Imam Khomeini Port, customs formalities are crucial in ensuring the smooth flow of import and export processes while maintaining compliance with port and customs regulations. Upon arrival of cargo, the tally crew meticulously inspects and registers the status of received and exported goods. Any deficiencies in packaging are duly noted in the tally report. If necessary, packages are opened and inspected by the tally crew, cargo owner, or their agent for re-packing.
To facilitate the release and delivery of cargo from warehouses and open storage yards, a customs release permit issued by the customs authority is mandatory. Holders of the release permit must have official authorization on behalf of the cargo owner during the cargo release process. Cargo owners or their agents must adhere to port and customs regulations and utilize appropriate vehicles for cargo transport. Cargo owners or their agents are responsible for arranging the immediate transport of cargo upon receiving the release permit. Delays in transport may result in cargo being discharged from vessels and delivered to warehouses or open storage yards at the expense of the cargo owner or their representative.
Once the cargo is released and transferred out of the port terminal, the cargo owner or agent assumes full responsibility for the cargo's safety and integrity. It is essential to exercise utmost care and attention during cargo receipt and transfer, as the port authority bears no responsibility after the cargo is released to the owner.

Iran, Islamic Republic of - 2.1.4 Port of Chabahar Shahid Beheshti
Port Overview
The port of Chabahar is located in southeastern Iran, north of Oman Sea. One of the features that distinguishes it from other Iranian ports and ports on the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, is its access to international open seas.
Currently, Chabahar port consists of two important commercial ports, named Shahid Beheshti and Shahid Kalantari, on the eastern shore of Chabahar Gulf located in the province of Sistan and Balochistan beside the warm water of the Oman Sea and the Indian Ocean, and being adjacent to two countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and having access to the international waters, and CIS countries, and also being adjacent to Free Trade-Industrial Zone, hence it can play as the regional Hub port.
Afghan traders have responded with enthusiasm to Chabahar ports' potential as a reliable trade and transit offering. Chabahar is considered to offer better transit times for inland transportation to Afghanistan—e.g. it takes 14 days to cover the 1,520 km from Karachi to Kabul including transit clearance and border crossing protocols, while only 6 days to cover the 1840 kms from Chabahar to Kabul.
In July 2020 Islamic Republic Railways (RAI) began track laying on the Chabahar–Zahedan railway project following a ceremony held by RAI officials and representatives from the Government of Iran from the Ministry for Transport. Officials underlined the significance of the railroad and noted that due to its strategic position, Chabahar Port is going to be a gateway for the country’s trade. The railway will provide a link between Chabahar in the Gulf of Oman and connect with the Trans-Iranian Railway, allowing for direct rail freight services between Chabahar port and the rest of Iran, as well as landlocked Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan.
This section provides specifications of Shahid Beheshti port as the main international port in chabahar.

Iran, Islamic Republic of - 2.7 Milling Assessment
The Government Trading Corporation (GTC) is in control of grain and flour production and importation in Iran. It gives the standards for quality and controls the products. (A staple diet in Iran is bread.) The overall milling capacity is able to cope with the requirements of the country. In addition, there is an overcapacity already built. Wheat flourmills are situated in wheat production regions and close to transit entry points, such as ports. In Ahwaz, 167 km from the Bandar Imam Khomeini port, there are four mills and near Bandar Abbas are also three mills. The whole country's milling capacity is 30 million mt per year. These mills produced last year 15.5 million mt of wheat flour. That performance can be increased according to demand.
