As of August 4, 2026, indicative Iran Paraffin Wax export assessments are USD 900–1,300/MT across eight evidence-supported sea-port and land-border hubs. Current public Iran EXW indications place semi-refined grades at approximately USD 840–970/MT before export packing and inland or port delivery, while August 4 public FOB benchmarks at Mersin and Jebel Ali are approximately USD 970–1,300/MT across 3–5%, 1–3% and fully refined grades. The hub values below convert those signals into practical FOB or FCA planning ranges by grade, melting range and packaging. They are not executable offers: port, carrier, border, sanctions, banking and security feasibility must be reconfirmed on the RFQ date.

Iran Paraffin Wax Hub Price Map
All values are indicative USD/MT. Sea-port rows use FOB and land-border rows use FCA at the named handover point. Current maritime and border execution must be confirmed before quotation acceptance.
Methodology and Commercial Scope
Hub validation
The eight listed hubs are supported by current port or border activity plus Iran-origin HS 271220 or HS 271290 destination trade. Bushehr is removed as a separately priced paraffin-wax hub because current public product-specific execution evidence is insufficient. Bandar Abbas and Imam Khomeini remain conditional FOB references; Chabahar is the strongest currently documented southern-port alternative.
Price assessment
Ranges triangulate August 4, 2026 public Mersin and Jebel Ali FOB indications, current Iran EXW grade ranges, July regional price indices, direct Iran-origin offer checks, standard export packing and route-specific handling. Isolated offers that conflict materially with the broader market are treated as outliers rather than used as the assessment midpoint.
Basis and execution
Sea-port rows are FOB and land-border rows are FCA only. Ocean or onward freight, insurance, destination charges, duty and tax are excluded. A binding quote requires a dated COA, quantity, packing, loading window and confirmation of terminal or border access, carrier acceptance, banking, sanctions and end-use compliance.

Data Quality and Commercial Use
- The latest complete broadly available destination data show Türkiye as the largest recorded buyer of Iran-origin HS 271290 waxes, with Pakistan also a major buyer; Pakistan is the largest recorded 2024 buyer of Iran-origin HS 271220 paraffin wax below 0.75% oil. Smaller documented flows support the Armenia and Azerbaijan corridors.
- Public August 4, 2026 FOB indications are approximately USD 1,300/MT for fully refined, USD 1,100/MT for 1–3% and USD 1,030/MT for 3–5% at Mersin; comparable Jebel Ali indications are approximately USD 1,270, USD 1,050 and USD 970/MT. Iran EXW semi-refined indications are approximately USD 840–970/MT before export packing and delivery.
- The listed hub ranges are modelled commercial assessments, not exchange settlements, customs unit values, invoices or firm offers. Published single-supplier prices can be stale, promotional, specification-mismatched or outliers and are not accepted without cross-checking.
- FOB means export-cleared cargo loaded on board at the named port. FCA means export-cleared cargo handed to the carrier at the named land point. Freight after handover, insurance, destination handling, import duty and tax are excluded.
- Bandar Abbas and Imam Khomeini values are conditional references. Confirm terminal acceptance, container release, vessel call, Strait routing, route security and war-risk cover on the quotation date. Chabahar remains the strongest currently documented southern-port alternative, but it also requires carrier and compliance confirmation.
- Standard solid-wax export packing is 5 kg slabs in 25 or 30 kg cartons, normally with an inner polyethylene liner. Palletization and shrink wrapping are appropriate for container and long-distance road movements. Lined PP woven bags are retained only for cost-sensitive semi-refined grades where the buyer accepts that format.
- Oil content alone does not establish equivalence. Confirm ASTM test method, melting or congealing point, color, penetration, viscosity, flash point, odor, slab form, producer, batch COA and inspection requirements.
- Ranges assume normal full-container or full-truck commercial quantities. Small lots, private labels, fumigated pallets, special wrapping, inspection, urgent loading, document legalization and difficult payment routes can add premiums.
Iran Paraffin Wax Price FAQ
What is the current Iran Paraffin Wax price range?
As of August 4, 2026, the listed FOB/FCA planning range is USD 900–1,300/MT. Higher-oil semi-refined grades form the lower band, while low-oil fully refined grades form the premium band.
Which export hubs are covered?
The assessment covers Bandar Abbas, Imam Khomeini / Mahshahr, Chabahar, Bazargan, Astara, Norduz, Dogharoun and Mirjaveh. Sea-port rows use FOB and land-border rows use FCA only.
Why was Bushehr removed as a separately priced hub?
Bushehr remains a recognized Iranian port, but sufficiently recent public evidence for recurring paraffin-wax execution from that port was not found. It is therefore excluded until product-specific commercial evidence supports reinstatement.
Are Bandar Abbas and Imam Khomeini FOB values executable?
Not automatically. They are conditional hub references. A firm FOB quotation requires same-day confirmation of terminal access, equipment, vessel call, carrier acceptance, route security, banking and sanctions compliance.
How were the prices updated?
The assessment combines August 4 public Mersin and Jebel Ali FOB values, current Iran EXW grade indications, July regional indices, direct Iran-origin offer checks and practical packing and inland-loading differentials. Material outliers are excluded.
What information is required for a firm RFQ?
Specify maximum oil content, melting range, quantity, packing and pallet requirement, named FOB/FCA point, destination, shipment window, inspection, COA and SDS requirements, payment terms and export documents.
