Our company, with years of proven experience in the field of international trade and relying on our representatives in the Czech Republic and Germany, offers a complete and integrated set of consulting services that cover all the challenges of a commercial process. Our services include the stages before the transaction, during the contract execution, and after the finalization of commercial operations:

1. Domestic and Foreign Market Analysis (Market Intelligence)

The goal of this section is to ensure sustained demand and identify the competitive environment. If you intend to import goods, knowing the domestic market and especially the conditions of foreign sellers is very important. Similarly, in exporting goods, being aware of what encourages foreign buyers to purchase from Iranian suppliers is of high importance. Therefore, before export and import, it is necessary to review and monitor certain analyses. These analyses include:

• Market Need Identification: Determining market size, growth rate, consumption patterns, and supply gaps.
• Competitive Analysis: Reviewing pricing strategy, distribution channels, and the strengths and weaknesses of key competitors in the target market.
• SWOT Analysis: A precise evaluation of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to entering a specific market.

2. Consulting on Customs and Goods Clearance Matters (Customs and Clearance Expertise)

This area is often the biggest bureaucratic obstacle in trade. The process of currency allocation, goods declaration in imports, and issuing export licenses are issues that every Iranian merchant directly faces. Safir Norooz Mandegar Trading, as an official broker of Iran Customs, provides special and specialized services to merchants. Our services include:

• Precise HS Code Classification: Ensuring the correct assignment of the HS code to prevent heavy fines and clearance delays.
• Review of Technical Requirements and Mandatory Standard Permits: Such as the Standard mark, Health Certificate, and specific import permits for certain goods (like food or medical equipment) from relevant organizations and bodies, based on current trade regulations.
• Customs Valuation Management: Guidance on how to document the value of goods in accordance with the laws of the Iran Customs Organization to prevent re-evaluation by customs authorities.

3. Guidance on Choosing Transportation Routes (Logistics Optimization)

The correct choice of shipping method directly impacts delivery time and cost. We suggest the most optimal combination based on the nature of the goods and the urgency of delivery:

• Comparison of Shipping Methods: The profitability and costs of the goods you intend to import are highly dependent on how you choose the shipping method. We will provide the best selection and consultation for you, esteemed merchants.
• Incoterms Selection: Precise consultation on choosing delivery terms (such as FOB, CIF, DDP) and determining the responsibilities and risks between the buyer and seller, and relying on the merchant’s familiarity to prevent any capital loss.

4. Consulting on Selecting Reliable Suppliers (Supplier Vetting)

Supplier risk is one of the biggest concerns for merchants. Assurance and trust are costly issues and may lead to the loss of capital. Our familiarity with domestic and foreign suppliers, as well as the precise evaluation by our commercial experts using accurate assessment methods, creates this assurance for you, dear merchant, regarding the export or import of your desired goods:

• Due Diligence: Reviewing the production history, production capacity, and financial stability of foreign suppliers.
• Pre-Shipment Inspection: Coordination of third-party inspections before loading the goods.

5. Financial Evaluation and Investment Risk Mitigation (Financial Risk Mitigation)

The current conditions in Iran and the existence of sanctions have imposed numerous limitations on many merchants, which require specialized financial knowledge to overcome:

• Exchange Rate Risk Management: Offering solutions to cover exchange rate fluctuations by relying on long-term analyses.
• Consulting on International Payment Methods: Letter of Credit payment methods require special coordination with banks and are circuitous in some countries. However, choosing the best international payment method between the parties fosters suitable trust for procuring goods.

6. Support in Commercial Negotiations and International Contract Conclusion

International contracts must be prepared with extreme care to prevent legal disputes in different jurisdictions. We accompany you in these stages:

• Drafting Contractual Clauses: Focusing on conditions for termination, compensation, and dispute resolution (preferably international arbitration).
• Negotiation Team Training: Providing effective strategies to achieve the best pricing and contractual conditions based on our practical experience.
