As of August 4, 2026, this Iran Gilsonite price report shows non-binding FOB/FCA planning indications from USD 285–530/MT. The verified reference network remains centered on Gilan-e-Gharb and Eyvan/Ilam mining origins; the Sumar, Parviz Khan, Khosravi and Mehran corridors into Iraq; the Bazargan/Gürbulak route into Türkiye; and the Bandar Imam Khomeini and Shahid Rajaee sea gateways. Public Gilsonite pricing is fragmented and there is no transparent exchange benchmark, so the ranges below are triangulated from current 2026 export indications, product-processing differentials, export packaging, inland logistics and current border or port operability. Final availability and price require confirmation of the lot COA, quantity, packaging, exact named FCA/FOB place, customs or carrier acceptance, payment terms and loading window.

Benchmark method
Gilsonite has no exchange-traded benchmark. Ranges are triangulated from current public 2026 export indications, ash and mesh differentials, processing, packing, inland haulage and verified corridor operability.
Firm RFQ
A firm offer requires COA limits for ash, moisture, softening point and solubility, particle size, quantity, packaging, exact FCA/FOB place, shipment window, required documents and payment terms.

- All values are USD per metric ton and are planning indications, not binding offers. Only FCA or FOB bases are used.
- Lower-ash material, finer mesh, tighter solubility or softening-point limits, palletization, printed bags and special documentation can increase the final price.
- FCA border indications require daily confirmation of customs acceptance, local operating hours, Iraqi or Turkish tariff treatment and truck availability.
- FOB port indications require carrier or vessel acceptance, equipment availability, terminal booking and confirmation of current navigation conditions.
- A shipment COA and retained sample should govern the contract; generic grade names do not replace lot-specific ash, moisture, softening point, solubility and particle-size limits.
Gilsonite Price FAQ
Are these Iran Gilsonite prices binding offers?
No. They are non-binding planning indications. A binding offer requires a defined grade and COA, quantity, packaging, named FCA/FOB place, shipment window, documents and payment terms.
How are Gilsonite prices estimated without an exchange benchmark?
The ranges combine disclosed 2026 export indications with observable premiums or discounts for ash, mesh, processing, packing, inland freight and the operating status of the relevant border or port.
Why do prices differ between origins, borders and ports?
Mining-origin FCA values exclude onward haulage. Border FCA values include delivery to a named crossing, while FOB values include delivery and export loading at the named sea port. Route congestion and carrier acceptance can also change the level.
Which specification should a buyer place in the RFQ?
State product form, maximum ash and moisture, mesh or particle-size distribution, softening point, solubility method and minimum, quantity, packaging, named delivery point, loading window and required inspection or shipping documents.
