How to Safely Ship Personal Effects from the USA to Iran | Hapco

Choosing the Right Sea Freight Option
Direct Sea Freight
Direct sea freight loads your container at a U.S. port and ships it straight to Iran. Minimal handling reduces the risk of damage and simplifies logistics.
Cross-Stuffing at Transit Hubs
Cross-stuffing at strategic hubs like Jebel Ali or Singapore can help optimize shipping costs, but requires careful coordination to prevent delays. You can explore sea freight risks and port routes in Sea Freight from Iran to Australia: Ports, Routes and Real Logistics Risks.
Packaging and Labeling Your Personal Effects
Proper packaging is critical. Use sturdy boxes, protective materials, and clear labels. Fragile or high-value items require extra care. Correctly packed cargo moves faster through ports and avoids insurance disputes. Detailed guidance is available in Packaging & Cargo Preparation for Shipping from Iran to Australia.
Documentation and Customs Clearance
Accurate inventories, certificates, and required forms are essential for smooth customs clearance. Missing or incorrect documents can delay shipments or result in fines. For more information, see Required Documents for Shipping from Iran to Australia.
