Loading the wagon from Iran

Loading the wagon from Iran | Wagon loading from Iran

Currently, a large number of companies and industrial complexes are active in exporting their products to foreign countries. Rail export is one of the practical methods for transporting goods to destination countries. A wide range of products produced in these industrial complexes are exported to Iran’s northern neighbors via rail lines. Wagon loading from Iran is done at specific border points. Ali Ghanei Trading Company has facilitated the export process by providing the opportunity for various companies and complexes to send their cargoes to northern countries via rail lines.

At what border points are wagons loaded from Iran?

As we mentioned, many companies and factories use rail lines to transport their cargoes to northern neighbors. In the northern regions of Iran, there are various borders that facilitate rail exports to countries such as Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Russia, etc. The Ali Ghanei Trading Complex uses two main borders for exporting the products of domestic factories and industrial complexes to these northern countries.

Loading location and factors affecting the cost Wagon loading from Iran for exports to foreign countries

One of the existing borders for wagon loading from Iran is the Astara border in the northwestern part of Iran. Those complexes that intend to export their products to countries such as Azerbaijan or Russia can load their products on rail lines through the Astara border and prepare them for shipment to the desired destination. Another busy border that various factories and companies can use to export their products to countries such as Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, etc., is the Sarakhs border. The Sarakhs border is located in the northeastern part of Iran in the Razavi Khorasan province. We at Ghanei Trading have provided the possibility of rail exports from this northern border for all complexes.

Loading the wagon from Iran at the Astara border

Astara is one of the northern borders of Iran with Azerbaijan, which facilitates wagon loading from Iran for the export of various products to Azerbaijan and Russia. We at Ali Ghanei Trading receive the cargo from the door of the factory or company in question and then transfer it to the Astara border with appropriate packaging. We follow international standards for packaging all types of export cargoes and send all export cargoes with the guarantee of safe arrival of the cargo via rail lines to the desired destination.

Unfortunately, due to the difference in rail lines between Azerbaijan and Iran, we do not have the ability to load Iranian wagons and send cargo to the desired destination. For this reason, for rail exports through the Astara border with Azerbaijan, we must resort to loading cargo in Azerbaijani wagons. You can entrust the process of obtaining the necessary permits for the entry and exit of foreign wagons to the Astara border to our experts at Ghanei Trading.

What is the process of transporting cargo from the Astara border to the desired destination?

After obtaining the necessary permits for the entry and exit of Azerbaijani wagons to the Astara border, the process of wagon loading from Iran begins. As we mentioned, the customer’s cargo is packaged according to international standards and is placed safely inside the wagons. The handling and execution of all customs affairs at the origin of loading is the responsibility of our expert team at Ghanei Trading. After the loading process is completed, the intended cargo will be ready to be sent to the designated destination.

The cargo will be sent to the desired destination based on the station code or city code specified by the cargo recipient. Each of the railway stations in different cities of Azerbaijan and Russia has a specific code, and the cargo is booked for the designated destination based on that code. One of the very important features of rail exports to Azerbaijan and Russia is that the cargo will reach the recipient in the shortest time and in a completely safe manner.

Duration of rail export from Astara border

One of the questions that usually arises for companies and producing and receiving cargo complexes in the destination country is how long does the process of wagon loading from Iran and sending the cargo to the designated destination take? The time required for the cargo to reach the destination depends primarily on the distance between the Astara border and the designated destination. Certainly, the greater the distance between the origin and the designated destination, the longer the cargo transportation time via rail lines will be.

Ghanei Trading provides the possibility of rail exports to all cities in Azerbaijan and Russia for domestic complexes. You can transport your cargoes even to the most remote cities of Russia via the rail lines of Azerbaijan. Our goal at Ghanei Trading is to deliver cargo to the destination as safely and as quickly as possible.

In general, cargo transportation via rail lines to different cities of Azerbaijan is done in a shorter period of time. As you know, Azerbaijan is Iran’s northern neighbor and is closer to us than Russia. Cargo transportation to all parts of Azerbaijan via rail lines is done in a three to four-day time frame. On the other hand, rail exports to Russia via the Astara border require more time. Usually, cargo transportation via rail lines to different cities of Russia, considering the distance between the origin and destination, takes about seven to ten days.

Loading the wagon from Iran at the Sarakhs border for exports

The Sarakhs border, located in the northwestern part of Razavi Khorasan province, is one of the main communication arteries between Iran and its northern neighbors such as Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, etc. As you know, many of these countries are the main destinations for Iranian factories and companies for exporting products. The large trading company, Ali Ghanei, has provided the opportunity for all domestic industrial complexes to send their products and cargoes to these northern countries via rail lines.

The loading of wagons from Iran at the Sarakhs border is done with the aim of rail export to the following countries:

• Uzbekistan
• Turkmenistan
• Tajikistan
• Kyrgyzstan
• Kazakhstan

In addition to all these countries, there is also the possibility of loading various products at the Sarakhs border and exporting them to Russia. However, this route is not very popular for exporting products to Russia by domestic exporters and foreign customers. This is because to transport cargo via the railway lines of the border city of Sarakhs to Russia, the wagons have to cover a much longer distance. The increase in distance not only leads to an increase in the duration of cargo transportation, but it is also not economical at all. For this reason, exporters prefer to go to the Astara border to send their consignments to Russia.

The process of exporting products through the rail lines at the Sarakhs

The process of exporting products via the railway lines at the Sarakhs border is very similar to the process of transporting cargo via the Astara border. Qanavi Trading, as the person in charge of exporting your consignments to the destination country, can receive the cargo from the factory door of the desired company and then load it with appropriate packaging at the Sarakhs border. Fortunately, for loading wagons from Iran at the Sarakhs border, there is no longer a need to import foreign wagons into the country’s borders. As a result, the process related to customs affairs is carried out more simply.

The destination for cargo delivery is determined by the recipient. The cargo recipient can announce their desired railway station code or city code to us, and then receive their consignment at the specified point in the shortest possible time. The delivery time also depends on factors such as the distance between the Sarakhs border and the destination city. For example, the time required to export rails to Turkmenistan is less than the time to transport cargo to Kazakhstan.

The capacity of the freight wagons of the railway lines

One of the important questions that arises for collections and exporting companies is what volume of consignment can be sent to the destination country at each loading stage? In other words, what is the capacity of the railway wagons that are used to export various products to northern countries? Although it is possible that different capacity wagons are used in some lines or railway companies, but generally for the export of cargo from the northern borders of Iran such as Astara and Sarakhs, standard wagons with a capacity equivalent to 66 to 67 tons are usually used.

The high capacity of the wagons used for exporting cargo to northern countries such as Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, etc., ensures that you will not face any particular problem when sending heavy and high-volume consignments. Ali Qanavi Trading not only provides you with the possibility of exporting high-volume rail products, but also, due to the use of standard packaging, it can almost reduce the probability of damage to your consignments to zero. Therefore, you no longer need to worry about damage to the cargo and the occurrence of heavy financial losses.

The duration of cargo transportation by train from Iran to CIS countries

The transit time for rail transportation from Iran to the countries of the former Soviet Union (CIS) may vary depending on the route and distance. Other factors such as the weight and type of cargo, the condition of transport routes, borders, terminal centers, and related facilities also affect this. For example, the transit time for rail transportation from Iran to Russia may take about 7 to 10 days. But as another example, the transit time for rail transportation from Iran to Turkmenistan may only be a few days.

Factors affecting the cost of Loading the wagon from Iran

One of the main concerns of industrial collection managers who are active in exporting their products to foreign countries is to minimize the costs related to loading wagons from Iran and sending consignments to the desired destination. Sending cargo to the desired country with the least possible cost makes it possible for companies and industrial collections to make more profit from exports. Therefore, to accurately estimate the costs related to loading consignments by rail lines, you should be familiar with the factors affecting its cost.

The most important factors affecting the cost of loading wagons and exporting various consignments from Iran are:

• Exported goods: The type of exported goods is one of the most important factors affecting the cost of loading wagons from Iran. Because the type of goods can directly affect various factors such as the type of wagon, packaging method, etc. For example, the cost of loading hazardous chemicals is higher than loading simple building materials such as various tiles and ceramics.
• Cargo volume: Another factor affecting the loading of export consignments is the volume of cargo. Undoubtedly, the larger the volume and tonnage of your cargo, the more wagons you will need to send it to the desired destination. This factor can increase your cost for loading and exporting products to foreign countries.
• Wagon features: The type of selected wagon is one of the important factors that are directly related to the type of cargo. Some types of wagons have features such as easy loading and unloading or the ability to protect goods against adverse weather conditions. Choosing these wagons for loading and exporting products to foreign countries can increase the costs of the collection in question. Therefore, if you feel that simpler wagons can be used, you can save on costs in this way.
