As of September 13, 2026, this page assesses Iran Paraffin Wax at USD 870–1,295/MT across twelve current sea-port, road-border and rail pricing gateways. The latest public regional benchmark dated September 11 is USD 1,300/MT for fully refined wax, USD 1,100/MT for semi-refined 1–3% and USD 1,030/MT for semi-refined 3–5% FOB Mersin; corresponding Jebel Ali references are USD 1,270, USD 1,050 and USD 970/MT. The latest explicit Iran semi-refined EXW indications remain approximately USD 840–970/MT before export packing and route delivery. Astara is removed from this edition because commercial cargo movement at the Iran–Azerbaijan border remains temporarily suspended. All FOB and FCA values below are non-binding planning assessments; same-day confirmation is required for specification, packing, border or terminal access, carrier acceptance, documentation, payment route, security and shipment window.

Iran Paraffin Wax Hub Price Map
Map labels show arithmetic hub averages in USD/MT. Use the applicable grade row for commercial comparison; port FOB execution requires same-day confirmation.
Methodology and Commercial Scope
Hub validation
Each listed gateway is retained only when current port or border activity and a practical paraffin-wax routing case can be supported. Astara is excluded from this edition because current cargo movement across the Iran–Azerbaijan border remains temporarily suspended.
Price assessment
Ranges are cross-checked against September regional FOB/FCA benchmarks, the latest explicit Iran EXW semi-refined references, refining level, oil content, melting range, packing and route-specific inland or port delivery. Materially inconsistent single-source outliers are not used as anchors.
Basis and execution
Sea-port rows use FOB and road or rail handover rows use FCA. Main carriage, insurance and destination charges are excluded. Because maritime traffic is severely disrupted, every port FOB indication requires same-day confirmation of terminal, vessel, carrier, security and documentation feasibility.

Assessment and Execution Notes
- These values are non-binding planning assessments rather than exchange-settled prices or firm offers. A current RFQ is required before purchase.
- The September 11 regional benchmarks are used as market anchors, while the latest explicit Iran semi-refined EXW references are used as a cost-floor cross-check before packing and route delivery.
- Astara / Azerbaijan–Caucasus is not assigned a current FCA price because commercial cargo movement across the Iran–Azerbaijan border remains temporarily suspended; Bilasuvar is not substituted because it is subject to the same restriction.
- FOB rows remain pricing references for established sea gateways, but current maritime disruption means a price can be commercially reasonable while a specific sailing is not executable. Confirm vessel, carrier, terminal, insurance/security and documentation availability on the RFQ date.
- Dogharoun remains an assessed corridor, but recent reporting indicates weaker Iran–Afghanistan exports; Mirjaveh / Taftan remains active and Taftan's customs infrastructure was formally expanded in 2026.
- Price differences reflect refining level, oil content, melting range, carton or bag configuration, palletization, quantity, inland distance and handling at the named delivery point.
Paraffin Wax Price FAQ
How are the September 2026 hub ranges built?
Each range starts with current public product benchmarks and the latest explicit Iran EXW indications, then applies grade, melting range, export packing and route-specific delivery logic. Conflicting isolated quotations are treated as outliers unless corroborated.
Why is Astara not listed in this edition?
The corridor is normally relevant to Caucasus trade, but current reporting confirms a temporary suspension of commercial cargo movement across the Iran–Azerbaijan border. It will only return as an independently priced hub after normal cargo operations are verifiably restored.
Does a port FOB range mean a vessel can load today?
No. FOB is the commercial price basis. Under current maritime conditions, a firm offer also requires same-day confirmation of port access, carrier acceptance, vessel availability, security, insurance, documents and shipment window.
What should a buyer include in an RFQ?
Specify refining level, oil-content range, melting point, quantity, packaging, named FOB or FCA point, destination, shipment window and required documents. These details are necessary to convert a planning range into an executable quotation.
