Research Services

Company contacts

The Business Information Department of the British-Iranian Chamber of Commerce offers the following list making services for companies wishing to market (or source) goods in Iran:

Ready Made Lists:

These lists cover the areas and sectors.

Tailored/Manual search

Using current commercial directories, Iran Chamber of Commerce directories and the British-Iranian Chamber of Commerce's own database of companies looking to source products in the UK, a search is carried out according to your own specified criteria.
Having received your request in writing (fax is sufficient), initial research will be made to assess the number of companies fitting these criteria. You will then be quoted a price for production of the list and upon receipt of payment the list or labels will be prepared. Details of the charges you would incur for use of this service can be seen in the fees section.

Other research services

The Chamber endeavours, where possible, to hold copies of trade laws and regulations for Iran in English. While we cannot guarantee that we will have the relevant regulation or law to hand, you should feel free to send us an enquiry, preferably by fax, and we will then inform you whether we can answer your query. This type of enquiry is also subject to charges, and for further details you should look at the fees section.

Business Etiquette

In public, a hand-shake is normal in greetings between men or between women but never between men and women. Social conversation is desirable before business discussions begin. Tea and cakes or fruit should be taken when offered in meetings, but should be declined in the unlikely event that it is offered during Ramadan.
