Air Freight from Iran to China: Carpets, Shoes & More in 7 Days

Air freight from Iran to China moves a genuinely wide range of goods — Persian carpets, footwear, furniture pieces, and countless other categories beyond food items. Because these goods carry real value in less space than bulk cargo, air freight suits them especially well.

What Moves by Air from Iran to China

Carpets remain one of Iran’s best-known export categories, and their combination of high value and manageable weight makes them a natural fit for air shipment. Shoes and other manufactured goods travel the same way, alongside furniture pieces and general merchandise.

Minimum shipment weight is 50kg. We focus on genuine commercial cargo rather than small parcels, which keeps our air freight service cost-efficient for real business shipments.

One category currently sits on hold, however: saffron and other food products fall under Iran’s indefinite export ban on food and agricultural goods, in place since March 2026. For bulk industrial and petrochemical trade with China, see our sea freight guide to China instead — most higher-volume Iran-China trade moves by sea, not air.

Air Freight Time from Iran to China

Cargo routes via Georgia, or Turkey before continuing on to China — typically around 7 days total, with final timing depending on Chinese customs processing for your specific cargo category.

The Process

First, cargo departs Iran by air to one of our three regional hubs. Then, it clears transit customs and transfers onto a connecting flight toward China. From there, Chinese customs clearance completes before final delivery. For the full breakdown, see our air freight guide.

Documentation Requirements

Because Chinese customs authorities require accurate paperwork, we recommend reviewing General Administration of Customs China guidelines for your specific cargo category before shipping.
