Sourcing industrial materials from Iran must begin with regulatory verification, not price negotiation. Since February 2026, key exports require an Iran Mercantile Exchange export certificate and a 13-digit contract matched to customs. A compliant transaction requires consistent proforma invoice, sales invoice, packing list, COA or INSO certificate, inspection, certificate of origin, and export declaration. Settlement should use third-country-confirmed LCs or escrow, as unconfirmed Iranian LCs carry higher risk. Logistics are corridor-specific: Khaf–Herat rail for Afghanistan, Gabd-Rimdan road for Pakistan, and Sarakhs/Incheh Borun rail for Central Asia. Ofogh Metals Industrial & Mining Holding integrates verification, documentation, corridor coordination, and quality checks to enable scalable procurement.

Iran is now a structural mineral source for Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, driven by Chabahar, the Gabd-Rimdan corridor, and quadrilateral rail links. Exporting requires Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade licenses, a state export entity, and HS-code-specific duties and taxes. Logistics are route-specific: Khaf–Herat rail, Gabd-Rimdan road, and Central Asian rail. Ofogh Metals Industrial & Mining Holding coordinates documentation, corridor capacity, and origin-side quality checks. Buyers should engage origin-side partners now, before consolidating capacity tightens supply windows.
