Logistics Services for Civan Tivan Stone Exports
At Civan Tivan, we specialize in offering reliable logistics services that meet the highest standards for stone exports from Iran to neighboring countries. Our logistics process is designed to ensure timely, safe, and efficient delivery, addressing all critical aspects of exporting high-value natural stones like marble, sandstone, onyx, travertine, limestone, granite, and tramit. Below is a comprehensive outline of our logistics services, specifically tailored to meet regional export requirements.
1. Initial Logistics Planning and Consultation
• Customized Consultation: We begin by understanding the client’s delivery timeline, destination, and specific requirements for handling and transport.
• Route Optimization: For regional deliveries, we plan efficient routes (by land, sea, or air) based on the client’s location, shipping timeframes, and stone quantity.
• Risk Assessment: Our team evaluates potential risks in transit (including handling and environmental factors) and plans accordingly to mitigate any issues.
2. Packaging and Preparation for Export
• Protective Packaging: All stones are carefully packed with high-quality materials that prevent scratches, chipping, or breakage. For delicate surfaces, we use protective wraps, foam padding, and reinforced crates to ensure maximum safety.
• Customized Crating: Stones are crated based on their specific dimensions, weight, and transport method. Wooden crates are tailored to each shipment to ensure durability and compliance with export standards.
• Labeling and Identification: Each crate is labeled with precise details about the stone type, quality grade, dimensions, and destination, following export and customs requirements.
3. Transportation Options and Selection
• Land Freight: For neighboring countries accessible by road, we offer specialized trucking services with vehicles designed for heavy and fragile cargo. We partner with trusted transportation companies experienced in cross-border shipments.
• Sea Freight: For bulk shipments or destinations with port access, sea freight is an economical option. We coordinate with shipping lines and container services that ensure secure transit and provide cost-effective rates for larger quantities.
• Air Freight (when necessary): For urgent or smaller shipments, we offer air freight services. Although less common for stone exports, air freight is available for clients with tight deadlines, ensuring stones arrive quickly and in perfect condition.
4. Freight Forwarding and Export Documentation
• Freight Forwarding Partners: Our logistics network includes experienced freight forwarding companies who handle export processes, such as loading and unloading, customs procedures, and documentation.
• Comprehensive Export Documentation: We prepare and manage all export-related paperwork, including:
• Commercial Invoice: Documenting the transaction details and export valuation.
• Packing List: Itemizing each crate’s content for customs reference.
• Certificate of Origin: Verifying that the stones are sourced from Iran, which is required for certain trade agreements.
• Inspection Certificates (if needed): Providing evidence of quality and compliance, depending on the importing country’s requirements.
• Compliance with Local and International Standards: All documentation aligns with both Iranian export regulations and the import standards of the destination country, ensuring a smooth customs process.
5. Customs Clearance and Border Handling
• Customs Liaison: Our logistics team works directly with customs brokers to expedite clearance at Iranian border points and at the destination.
• Efficient Border Handling: We manage all border crossing procedures, ensuring that documentation is presented correctly and that the shipment complies with customs requirements in both Iran and the receiving country.
• Import Tariffs and Duties: For certain destinations, we assist clients in estimating duties and taxes that may be levied on stone imports, ensuring transparency in total shipping costs.
6. Delivery to Destination
• Local Distribution: Once the shipment reaches the destination country, we arrange local delivery to the client’s specified location, such as warehouses, project sites, or showrooms.
• Secure Unloading Services: We work with skilled teams at delivery points to carefully unload and handle the stone crates, minimizing any risk of damage during the final stages of transit.
• On-Site Inspection: We encourage clients to inspect the stones upon arrival to confirm quality and order accuracy, with our team available for any required assistance.
