Process

How It Works
Step by Step

From your factory floor in China to your warehouse in West Asia — we handle every detail. Here's exactly what happens when you ship with YDC Rail.

Goods Collection & Consolidation

We collect goods from your supplier's factory across China, consolidate them at our Xi'an warehouse, and prepare all export documentation.

Container Loading & Departure

Containers are sealed and loaded onto the block train at Xi'an International Port. Full GPS tracking is activated from departure.

Transit & Border Clearance

The train crosses through Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. Our local teams handle customs at each border crossing — no delays, no agent fees.

Import Clearance in Iran

Our Tehran office completes all import formalities before the train arrives. Pre-clearance means zero waiting time at the border.

Last-Mile Delivery

Containers are transferred to our trucking fleet for delivery to your warehouse — anywhere in Iran or neighboring countries.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our China-Eurasia rail freight service.

Our express rail service delivers from Xi'an to Tehran in exactly 15 working days. This includes all border crossings and customs clearance. It's the fastest rail service on this corridor, compared to the industry average of 18-22 days.

We handle a wide range of goods including electronics, automotive parts, machinery, construction materials, consumer goods, textiles, and more. Temperature-sensitive goods can be accommodated in our climate-controlled warehouse zones. Hazardous materials require special arrangements — contact us for details.

We have our own customs teams at every border crossing point — Alashankou (China-Kazakhstan), Dostyk, and the Iran-Turkmenistan border. Our deep knowledge of local regulations ensures zero bureaucratic delays. We also handle pre-clearance in Iran before the train arrives.

We accept LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments from as little as 1 cubic meter, which we consolidate at our Xi'an warehouse. For FCL (Full Container Load), we handle standard 20ft and 40ft containers. There's no maximum — we've handled entire train blocks for large projects.

Rail freight costs approximately 2.5x more than ocean freight, but arrives 3x faster. For businesses where inventory holding costs, cash flow, and time-to-market matter, rail offers the best value proposition. It's a middle ground between expensive air freight and slow sea freight.

Absolutely. Every container is equipped with GPS tracking from the moment it leaves our warehouse. You'll have access to our digital tracking platform where you can see your cargo's exact location, estimated arrival time, and status updates at each checkpoint.
