Iran import FAQs

What is ISIRI registration?

The Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran requires product registration for food imports. Registration is handled by the Iranian importer; suppliers provide specification sheets and COA.

Why does Iran favor Steam?

Iranian dishes (chelo, polow) rely on rice with firm, separated grains. Steam delivers that without the color shift of full Sella. Steam has been the Iranian basmati preference for decades.

What is transit to Bandar Abbas?

7-12 days from Karachi. Direct vessels run regularly between the two ports.
