Bazargan Port: Core Gateway on the Iran-Turkey Border
Bazargan Port is located on the Iran-Turkey border and is the most active border crossing for Iran-Turkey trade, serving as the core gateway for overland entry from Iran into Turkey and Europe. The IRU has confirmed that Bazargan Port is positioned at the core of the east-west corridor, with approximately 75 percent of Iran's bonded zone area concentrated in this region. Following IRU officials' visits to Bazargan Port, TIR green lane development has been advanced, enabling efficient customs clearance.
China-Iran-Turkey TIR land route via Bazargan Port: Door-to-door pickup across China → Depart via Xinjiang Khorgos Port → Kazakhstan → Uzbekistan → Turkmenistan → Iran → Bazargan Port → Turkey → Europe. China to Turkey 15-18 days, with destination import customs clearance included, with no transloading required throughout the journey.
Switch from Railway to TIR Trucking: Bypass Strait Direct to Europe
With persistent tight railway capacity, TIR trucking via the Iran-Turkey corridor bypasses the strait for direct access to Europe, independent of railway wagon plan restrictions, allowing shipment whenever cargo is ready. When China-Iran railway capacity is tight, TIR trucking provides a stable and controllable alternative.
Compared to rail transport, TIR trucking via Bazargan Port into Europe offers three key advantages: independence from railway wagon plan restrictions, allowing shipment whenever cargo is ready; bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, unaffected by shipping restrictions; and 15-18 day direct delivery to Turkey and Europe with stable, controllable transit times.
Bazargan Port Car-Carrier Transloading System
China to Iran TIR Trucking Turkey Gateway provides professional car-carrier transport services for complete vehicle exports, built around cross-border transloading at Bazargan Port:
China-plated short-haul car-carrier trailers (70 units): Dedicated to short-haul transloading transport between Khorgos Port and Kazakhstan's Nur Zhol Port.
Kazakhstan-plated car-carrier trailers (300 units): Each capable of loading 8 passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, or new energy vehicles, responsible for long-haul cross-border transport from China to Iran and Turkey.
Iran-plated car-carrier trailers (270 units): After transloading at Nur Zhol Port, they arrive directly in Iran and enter Turkey and Europe via Bazargan Port. Iran-plated car-carrier trailers can freely operate within Iran without additional border transloading.
This forms a complete closed loop consisting of China-plated short-haul car-carrier trailers (Khorgos-Nur Zhol) plus Kazakhstan-plated car-carrier trailers (Nur Zhol-Iran) plus Iran-plated car-carrier trailers (Iran-Turkey and Europe), achieving seamless delivery from Chinese ports to Turkey and European destinations.
