Due to international sanctions, direct shipping from Canada to Iran is generally
unavailable through major global couriers. Instead, shipments are routed
through intermediary hubs such as the UAE or Oman.
Cheapship sends parcels first to partner facilities in these countries using
carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL. After sorting and clearance, local partner
couriers complete delivery inside Iran.
Shipping from Canada to Iran generally involves indirect logistics routes because major global carriers do not offer direct services due to sanctions. Shipments typically travel through intermediary hubs before entering Iran via local partnered couriers.
Sanctions restrict financial transactions, direct flights, and courier operations
involving Iran. This limits the ability of major carriers to operate end-to-end
services
Logistics providers must therefore rely on complex routing, additional
documentation, and trusted regional partners.
Shipping to Iran is challenging due to sanctions, limited direct courier services, and strict customs regulations. Providers must rely on alternative routes and third-party partners.
Costs are based on weight, size, number of transit stages, and handling fees at intermediary hubs. Local delivery charges inside Iran are also included. Because routes vary, prices may fluctuate more than standard international shipments.
Iranian Canadians often send documents, gifts, clothing, and business items to family members or partners in Iran. Students and entrepreneurs also rely on document delivery. Reliable shipping is essential for maintaining family, legal, and commercial connections. CheapShip uses optimized indirect routes, consolidated shipments, and partnerships with regional delivery networks, reducing operational costs and making shipping more affordable.
Valuable items can be shipped with proper documentation, secure packaging, and accurate declarations. Insurance is recommended due to multi-step transit routes.
Since major carriers do not serve Iran directly, customers rely on specialized logistics providers that operate through indirect routes with reliable partner networks.
