For this international buyer, purchasing under FCA terms presented significant logistical hurdles. The supplier would only sell on an FCA basis, meaning all responsibility for local transport, documentation, and coordination fell entirely on the buyer. Without a reliable local partner in Iran, the buyer faced two major obstacles:
1. Complex Domestic Logistics
The buyer urgently needed a reliable local partner in Iran to manage trucking, customs, and port coordination. They knew that working through intermediaries would increase costs and reduce transparency. However, they had no direct access to Iran’s local transport network. They needed an Iran petrochemical sourcing agent who could handle everything on the ground.
2. Urgent & Continuous Communication
The buyer could not rely solely on emails. They needed real-time, 24/7 communication through instant channels like WhatsApp. They wanted regular updates – including photos and videos – at every stage: from loading at the plant to customs clearance and final handover. Without a responsive local agent, they would remain blind to their own shipment’s progress.
As their trusted local partner in Iran, we stepped in to turn these challenges into a success story.
End-to-End Logistics Coordination: Leveraging our strong relationships with local trucking companies and our deep knowledge of Iran’s domestic logistics network, we managed the entire transport process from the producer’s plant to the FCA delivery point. No third-party intermediaries were involved, ensuring a fully transparent supply chain from origin to handover.
Urgent Problem-Solving: When minor documentation delays occurred, our on-ground team resolved them immediately with local authorities, preventing costly demurrage or missed vessel schedules.
The buyer received their 2,000 metric tons of LLDPE 22B02 on time, with complete visibility and zero unexpected costs. What could have been a stressful, high-risk FCA transaction became a smooth, efficient operation with a fully transparent supply chain.
This is how we, as your Iran petrochemical sourcing agent, turn local expertise into your competitive advantage.
“Working with Mohammad Ali in Petroxus and his team was a game-changer for us. We were hesitant about FCA terms because we had no local presence in Iran. But they handled everything – from trucking and customs to real-time WhatsApp updates with photos and videos. We always knew exactly where our shipment was. This is the kind of trusted partnership we’ve been looking for with a reliable local partner in Iran.”
