As of July 20, 2026, this Iran Petroleum Jelly price page shows indicative export planning ranges of USD 1,015–1,285/MT on FOB or FCA basis. Standard 175 kg export drums are indicated at USD 1,015–1,210/MT, while 50–90 kg pharmacopoeial packs carry a higher per-ton packaging premium. Five active benchmark gateways are retained from the latest complete HS 271210 destination pattern: Bandar Abbas for ocean cargo, Bazargan for Türkiye, Mirjaveh for Pakistan, Sarakhs for Central Asia, and Astara/Bileh Savar for the Caucasus. Current Bandar Abbas FOB values are nominal planning indications and require carrier, terminal, banking and sanctions acceptance before commitment.

Methodology and Commercial Scope
Hub verification
Hub inclusion starts with the latest complete partner-reported HS 271210 trade pattern for Iranian petroleum jelly, then applies route and gateway validation. Türkiye and Pakistan remain the dominant reported land destinations; Uzbekistan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Azerbaijan support the Central Asia and Caucasus corridors. Overseas destinations are consolidated under Bandar Abbas, Iran’s principal container gateway. Chabahar is not used as an active benchmark in this edition because product-specific evidence is weaker and current maritime execution is materially constrained.
Price construction
Ranges triangulate current July 2026 Iranian and Middle East public export indications, grade and packaging premiums, regional FOB comparisons, feedstock direction and the practical delivery cost to each named FOB or FCA point. Customs unit values are historical trade checks and are not treated as executable spot quotations.
Basis and execution
Bandar Abbas rows are nominal FOB planning indications at the named port. Land rows are FCA at the named Iranian gateway or a seller-nominated facility in that corridor. A firm quotation requires specification, quantity, packaging, loading point, destination, shipment window, payment terms, sanctions screening and document requirements.

These ranges are current market indications for full-container commercial planning. Grade terminology must match the supplier specification and batch COA; white, snow white or ultra white descriptions alone do not establish pharmacopoeial compliance. The maritime row is subject to exceptional execution risk, while land-corridor FCA rows may be more readily executable depending on border and banking conditions.

- Commercial status: all values are indicative planning ranges, not binding offers. Public petroleum-jelly pricing is fragmented and no transparent exchange-set benchmark exists for each Iranian gateway.
- Maritime execution: Bandar Abbas FOB indications are nominal until the nominated carrier, terminal, sailing, insurance, banking channel and compliance screening are accepted. Operational disruption can change or suspend a quote without notice.
- Full-container assumption: ranges assume export-scale orders. Partial loads, palletization, private labels, special liners, food-contact declarations, extra testing or legalized documents can add premiums.
- Grade control: pharmaceutical or pharmacopoeial supply must be contracted against the required USP, BP or Ph. Eur. specification and confirmed by the batch COA. Marketing color names are not a substitute for test compliance.
- Packaging control: 175 kg is the mainstream bulk format. HDPE and epoxy-lined steel drums are used for higher-purity products; 50–90 kg packs carry a higher cost per metric ton.
- Basis: FOB excludes ocean freight, marine insurance, import charges and destination handling. FCA excludes transport and risk after delivery to the carrier at the named Iranian place.
- RFQ validity: reconfirm quantity, producer, batch specification, packaging, loading point, destination, payment route, required documents and shipment window before purchase.
Iran Petroleum Jelly Price FAQ
How were the five export hubs selected?
The list begins with the latest complete HS 271210 mirror-trade destinations and then maps those markets to practical gateways: Bazargan for Türkiye, Mirjaveh for Pakistan, Sarakhs for Central Asia, Astara/Bileh Savar for the Caucasus and Bandar Abbas for overseas container cargo.
Why is Chabahar not priced in this update?
Chabahar remains a general-purpose Iranian port, but current product-specific evidence is weaker than for Bandar Abbas and maritime execution is presently constrained. It can be quoted for a confirmed shipment, but it is not treated as a routine petroleum-jelly benchmark hub in this edition.
Are these Petroleum Jelly prices binding?
No. They are current planning ranges. A firm offer requires a defined specification, producer approval, quantity, packaging, named loading point, destination, shipment window, payment structure and document set.
What proves pharmaceutical grade?
The supplied batch must meet the agreed USP, BP or Ph. Eur. specification and be supported by an acceptable COA. White, snow white and ultra white primarily describe appearance or commercial positioning and do not independently prove pharmacopoeial compliance.
Why do smaller drums cost more per metric ton?
Smaller packs require more drums, closures, labels, handling and often pallets for the same tonnage. Drum material, lining, destination rules and private-label requirements can increase the premium further.
What can move a quote outside the displayed range?
Producer and batch approval, color and purity, penetration or congealing-point requirements, quantity, drum type, inland haulage, carrier acceptance, border delays, sanctions screening, payment route and urgent shipment timing can all move the final number.
