1. International Business Tours Project

Large-scale trade deals are not achieved through phone calls and messaging;

Another world must be built...

A world where our trader rises from behind the desk, steps into lands of opportunity, and shines powerfully in major negotiations through physical presence.
This is the real arena of trade;
Where hands are shaken, eyes build trust, and contracts are sealed not with cold words in messages but with the warmth of presence.

In an unprecedented and transformative project, we—a group of bold Iranian traders—form a cohesive caravan alongside seasoned and knowledgeable managers, stepping into the heart of international markets.
Country by country, city by city, we travel to meet the giants of global industry and trade, cross borders, and move beyond being mere exporters to becoming key players in the global trade scene.

These tours are opportunities to build relationships that cannot be formed through any message.
These journeys open doors to contracts that are not signed behind any screen.
These missions mark the beginning of a strong and sustainable export path for Iranian products.

These are not ordinary trips but a commercial migration.
A migration from the world of calls, messages, and guesses to the world of presence, locked gazes, and contracts.

If you want to be a real exporter, you must be where the big decisions are made.

3. Demurrage in International Trade; A Cost That Should Not Be Underestimated.

In the world of international trade, there are small but critical logistical concepts that, if overlooked, can lead to additional costs and significant delays.

One of these important concepts is Demurrage.

❓ What is Demurrage?

Demurrage refers to a fee that the consignee must pay to the shipping company if the container is held at the port beyond the specified deadline.

This deadline is usually between 5 to 7 working days after the cargo arrives at the port (Free Time).

If the consignee fails to:

• Clear their goods.

• Or empty and return the container to the shipping company.

They must pay a fee for each day of delay as Demurrage.

💰 What is the Demurrage Rate?

The demurrage rate varies depending on the type of container, destination country, port, and shipping company policy.

Typically, it ranges from:

• $20 to $150 per day for 20-foot containers

• $30 to $200 per day for 40-foot containers

And increases with each day of delay.

🛑 Solutions to Avoid Demurrage

1. Full Preparation for Clearance: Prepare customs documents in advance.

2. Accurate Knowledge of Free Time: For each shipment, ask the forwarder or shipping company about this period.

3. Using a Professional Customs Agent: To expedite clearance.

4. Requesting Free Time Extension: In some cases, it can be extended with prior coordination.

✅ Final Word

Although demurrage may seem like a minor cost, in high-volume shipments and busy ports, it can completely erase the profit of a consignment.

In professional trade, precise management of unloading and clearance timing is one of the pillars of maintaining profitability.
