Following restrictions on maritime and air transportation, the inclusion of the railway sector in sanctions is further limiting the country\u2019s logistical flexibility. Keyvan Jafari Tehrani, former head of international relations at the Iranian Iron Ore Association and a senior international market analyst, warned in an assessment to Eghtesadnews that the impact could extend across the entire supply chain, from trade and transportation costs to export revenues, raw material supplies and production lines.<\/p>\n<p>Karachi Option Proves Costly<\/p>\n<p>According to Tehrani, following the blockade of southern ports, traders began looking for alternative routes. In April, May and June, some traders reportedly unloaded imported cargo at Pakistan\u2019s Port of Karachi, expecting containers to be transported into Iran relatively easily.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst said inaccurate information circulated by some media outlets and civil organizations without sufficient research had imposed significant costs on traders. Thousands of containers are still reportedly waiting at Pakistani ports. The distance between Karachi and the Iranian border exceeds 900 km, while challenges in moving the cargo onward remain unresolved.<\/p>\n<p>As the Pakistan route became increasingly constrained, some market players turned to rail for both imports and exports. Tehrani warned that the latest restrictions could weaken this alternative as well. While acknowledging that not all countries would necessarily enforce the sanctions, he said he was certain that some would do so, which would automatically affect a key artery of Iran\u2019s foreign trade. He declined to name the countries involved.<\/p>\n<p>Rail, Road and Sea Transport Cannot Fully Substitute for One Another<\/p>\n<p>One of Tehrani\u2019s key observations concerns the significant difference in transportation capacity. A single train formation can carry approximately 2,500 tonnes, while a standard truck typically carries around 25 tonnes, or up to 40 tonnes in some countries.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst said Iran\u2019s road infrastructure would not be capable of absorbing cargo diverted from rail. In maritime transport, meanwhile, neither rail nor road can provide sufficient capacity to replace sea freight. He also noted that not every neighboring country considered an alternative route is connected to Iran by rail.<\/p>\n<p>Exporters Struggle to Pass Higher Costs on to Buyers<\/p>\n<p>Rail is used for both imports and exports in Iran, although its share is higher on the import side. For exports, China is one of the main destinations. Previously, once cargo was loaded, shipments could reach China within approximately 20\u201325 days.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new restrictions, trains may be unable to pass through certain countries, potentially extending transit routes. As transit times increase, transportation costs are also expected to rise.<\/p>\n<p>On the import side, higher logistics and insurance costs increase the final price of goods, making imported products more expensive in the domestic market and adding to inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n<p>Exporters, however, face a more vulnerable position. Since the price at the destination market is largely predetermined, passing higher transportation costs on to buyers can be difficult. As a result, goods may have to be sold at lower prices at the point of departure in Iran, squeezing exporters\u2019 margins. Tehrani warned that for some products, exports could eventually become economically unviable.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst did not provide an estimate of how much costs could increase, explaining that any figure mentioned in the media would immediately be priced into the market.<\/p>\n<p>Chain Reaction Could Bring Production to a Standstill<\/p>\n<p>According to Tehrani, the impact is not limited to foreign trade. Disruptions in the supply of raw materials can cause losses for producers, while companies facing export bottlenecks may be forced to reduce production, potentially creating excess supply that cannot be absorbed by the domestic market.<\/p>\n<p>If the restrictions persist, the chain reaction could involve rising trade and logistics costs, weakening export competitiveness, disruptions to raw material supplies and, ultimately, reduced production or shutdowns at some companies. Tehrani emphasized that these developments are interconnected and should be viewed as a chain reaction rather than isolated problems.<\/p>\n<p>Tehrani\u2019s background is rooted in the iron ore sector, and the mechanism he describes is particularly relevant to high-volume, low-margin commodities. When transportation costs per tonne rise, pressure is placed on the achievable selling price at the point of origin.<\/p>\n<p>Given the importance of rail routes toward China for Iranian exports of iron ore, concentrates and semi-finished products, the development should be closely monitored for its potential impact on regional steel and raw material flows.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Eghtesadnews<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.steelradar.com\/en\/haber\/keyvan-jafari-tehrani-assesses-the-impact-of-logistics-restrictions-on-irans-foreign-trade\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Keyvan Jafari Tehrani: Lojistik aksama, ihracat kayb\u0131ndan \u00fcretim durdurmaya uzanabilir<\/p>\n<p>\u0130ran&#8217;\u0131n d\u0131\u015f ticaretinde alternatif g\u00fczerg\u00e2hlar daral\u0131yor.
