SARAKHS
Sarakhs is the Iran entry, not a sellable destination
The China–Iran TIR truck enters Iran at Sarakhs. That is an entry gateway, not the destination you put on a quote request. Sellable destinations are Mashhad Customs and Tehran West Customs (Aprin).
- Sarakhs = entry; Mashhad / Tehran = sellable destinations
- Iran clearance is the buyer’s broker’s job
- Hub to customs, CPT / DAP; not door-to-door, not DDP
- Days counted from Wuqia with “currently”; no Khorgos day count
Entry and destination are not the same line
If the enquiry only says “Sarakhs”, the sellable destination is still blank. The truck enters at Sarakhs and continues to Mashhad or Tehran West. The warehouse receipt is issued at destination customs, not sold as a separate border product.
Who clears after entry
We do not clear Iran customs. The consignee’s broker works in ASYCUDA. Terms are CPT / DAP. TIR means fewer unsealings, not none; it does not change transit time or the freight rate.
Where the days are counted to
From the Wuqia crossing. Direct trucks currently run 21–23 days to Tehran and 18–21 days to Mashhad. Current operating range, not a guarantee. The China hub-to-Wuqia leg is separate. No Khorgos day count.
