New Delhi Time

January 2014

Following the conclusion of an agreement upon Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States), certain points in the EU and U.S. sanctions programmes have been temporarily suspended, giving relief for specific exports or transactions. However, at this moment in time, the majority of the existing EU and U.S. restrictive measures remain in force. Also, very strict time constraints apply - the suspension has six months duration.

As part of XPS’s Export Control compliance, XPS requires a statement from the customer that No License is Required (NLR) before accepting your goods for transportation to Iran. A copy of this statement must be provided together with export paperwork and necessary trade documents.

Alternatively, in case of exports of licensable items, this fact must be appropriately identified by customers, who must provide XPS Express with information and all necessary documentation, including valid licenses, to comply with applicable regulations.

Non-compliant shipments will be held and subject to delays or return. This applies to document and non-document consignments. All diplomatic material falls under the diplomatic process and procedures.

Additionally, please be aware that XPS does not accept items of US origin for carriage to Iran from any origin in the world.

Due to tighter regulations passed by the Canadian Government, please be advised that a different customer statement applies for the Canada to Iran traffic.
