One of Shenzhen Led Light factories with more than 16 years history, in 2014, this company exported 100W led flood lights and 150W Led flood lights, totally 6200+pcs, to Iran, In 2016, supplied 100W street Lights, 120W Street lights, 150W outdoor flood light, 4ft tubelight, total 12 containers. Now they has to stop all the orders export to Iran.

One of writer’s friend, work in steel exporting company in Tianjin, complaints that to do business with Iran, they must open a new account from Kun Lun Bank, and provide more documents when they collect payment.

Meanwhile the exporters are facing another problem for transportation. The global shipping companies cancel the shipping line to Iran port. The exporters can only use IRISL to ship the cargo, but all shipping agents know that IRISL always be late for loading and shipping.

As we see, export to Iran is becoming more and more difficult, and the risk is increasing. Most companies diced to terminate business with Iran.
