FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest way to ship from Guangzhou to Tehran?
Sea freight (FCL or LCL) is the cheapest option; in normal market conditions, published rates for a 20ft container from southern Chinese ports to Bandar Abbas run about USD 1,000–2,200. But during sanctions flare-ups or peak season, ocean rates swing violently — and in those periods land and rail become the better deal.
What is the fastest option?
Air freight from Guangzhou to Tehran usually takes 4–7 days at market rates of roughly USD 4.5–6.5 per kg — ideal for samples, urgent parts and high-value, low-volume goods.
I buy from several sellers in Guangzhou — what should I do?
All sellers deliver to our Guangzhou warehouse; we consolidate, inspect and ship everything as one shipment (or several coordinated ones). This noticeably reduces the per-kg shipping cost.
How long does land freight from Guangzhou to Tehran take?
Door-to-door is usually 18–25 days, including domestic haulage to Khorgos or Kashgar, transit across four Central Asian countries and delivery in Tehran. See the <a href="https://hamlchin.com/en/routes/khorgos-tehran/" class="text-deep-blue font-semibold hover:text-gold">Khorgos route</a> and <a href="https://hamlchin.com/en/routes/kashgar-tehran/" class="text-deep-blue font-semibold hover:text-gold">Kashgar route</a> for details.
Which mode suits furniture and lighting?
Bulky, mid-value furniture usually travels best by sea or land; smaller, time-sensitive lighting and electrical goods balance better via land or rail. We apply special packing for fragile cargo.
How is the total landed cost calculated?
International freight + inland haulage in China + insurance + Iranian customs duty and VAT (by HS code) + clearance + inland delivery in Iran. Send us your product list and invoice for an exact estimate.
