When goods need to be transported from one point in the world to another but there is no direct route, or the cost and transit time of direct shipping are too high, the most effective solution is foreign transit transport. In this method, the cargo passes through the territory of an intermediary country without undergoing import or export customs procedures. The goods simply transit through and continue their journey toward the final destination.
This type of transportation plays a vital role in international trade, as it allows companies to save time and costs while gaining access to markets that are otherwise difficult to reach directly. For this reason, foreign transit transport is considered one of the main pillars of international logistics
Iran: The Connecting Bridge Between East and West in Foreign Transit
Iran’s geographical location has turned it into one of the key transit routes for international cargo. Major Asian and European corridors pass through Iran, making the country a strategic link between the Far East and Central Asia to Europe.
One of the most common examples is the transport of goods from China and India to CIS countries such as Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. On this route, Iran is considered the shortest and safest transit path. The cargo enters through one border, passes through Iranian territory without the need for customs clearance, and exits from another border toward its final destination.
?.What types of goods are transported through foreign transit
A wide range of industries use this method. Everything from grains and agricultural products to petrochemical materials, industrial machinery, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment. Any industry that requires fast and cost-effective access to regional or international markets considers foreign transit a reliable and strategic option.
