- Pearl River Delta cargo can be quickly consolidated at Nansha Port and transferred to TIR for direct delivery to Iran
- Hong Kong traders can leverage free port policies to optimize China-Iran transshipment trade processes
- Return cargo from Iran can be shipped via TIR to Nansha Port and then distributed globally by sea

Middle East TIR Iran is approximately 15-20 days faster than sea freight and approximately 80% cheaper than air freight, and is not restricted by sea freight route limitations.
