Exporting to Europe requires familiarity with customs, culture, research and accurate understanding of the market, understanding the needs and the amount of supply and demand in each country.
After knowing the target market and choosing the right product for export, we must pay attention to the political relations of that country with Iran and the laws and regulations related to the import of that country’s goods. Accurate knowledge of the rules leads to saving time, increasing income and preventing possible losses.
Since the demand for each product increases in a certain period of time, therefore, timely export is very effective in increasing sales and increasing profitability.

Shipping methods to Europe

The method of transporting goods to Europe has always been the concern of many traders. Because the goods have different storage conditions, and if all the desired conditions for transportation and export to Europe are not provided, the export cargo may be damaged and the exporter may suffer a lot of losses.
There are three shipping methods for exporting to Europe:
  • Maritime Transportation:

The best way to export cargoes with high weight and volume is sea transportation. In this method, the cargo is placed in the container and after loading on the ship, it is sent to the destination country. Sea transportation is done in different ways such as: direct, indirect (cross-staffing), transshipment, chartering and combined transportation. Usually, the cargo is either sent directly from the origin to the destination or a port is used as an intermediary to transfer the cargo. For export to countries such as Germany, England, Holland, France, Italy, etc., sea transportation is the most economical method.
  • Ground transportation:

Ground transportation is usually done using trucks and trailers, and if the cargo is food, special medicines, and perishable materials, refrigerated trucks should be used. Ground transportation is a cost-effective and low-risk method. Exports to Europe by land transport usually take place from Turkey and the Caucasus, and it can be said that these countries are the gateway to Europe.
  • Air transport:

Air freight is the fastest way to export to Europe. But it has a high cost compared to other methods. This method is used in some cases when there is a need to send cargo to Europe quickly.
