How to Import Textile Yarn from India to Iran — Cotton, Polyester, Blends

Indian textile yarn — cotton, polyester, blended and viscose — is widely imported by Iranian textile mills, weavers and knitters. India is one of the world's largest yarn producers, with strong spinning clusters in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Punjab and Rajasthan. This guide walks Iranian buyers through every step.

Why buy yarn from India

• India is one of the world's largest yarn producers.
• Indian cotton yarn (combed and carded) is exported globally for weaving and knitting.
• Indian polyester yarn (POY, DTY, FDY) is competitively priced.
• Indian spinning clusters offer a wide range of counts and blends.
• Indian Texprocil-registered exporters meet global documentation standards.

Common challenges for Iranian importers

• Inconsistent count (CV%).
• High neps and thick / thin places.
• Mixed lots (different count or blend).
• High moisture.
• Poor cone winding (causes dyeing and weaving problems).
• Supplier not registered with Texprocil.
• No PSI — quality disputes on arrival.
