I entered Iran with R1200GSA on 16 May 2019 with the assistance of a broker called Mr. Morteza Abbaszadeh / MORTEZA.ABASZADEH@gmail.com / 09129623005. It did cost me USD$100 plus EUR$50 for him. Apparently he only can deal with custom at Bandar Abas Port, it was quite impressive how he knew everyone there. It was my second time at this port.
I suggest do not use Hossein Sheykhlou as a broker, I was reluctant to write this because I do not want to disrupt any business of anyone, but I believe that this site serves to help overlander, so Hossein has exaggerated and charged very expensive fees for its services. The first time I entered Iran, he charged me $USD600 to organize my entry through Armenia into Iran. When I got on the border, another German overlander (motorcycle) went in for only USD $ 150.
I also suggest that the people of this forum write about experiences they have lived, not rumors from Automobil associations or friends of friends. "I will" does not help either, unless it's a question initiating a forum debate.
now goes a bad tip: I entered Djibouti, Ethiopia, Jordan, Iran and other countries with an expired Carnet Du Passage. It seems to me that very few people look at the date of Carnet Du Passage, perhaps the yellowish orange color dazzles the attention! ahha! please do not try to do this, it worked out many times for me and again I just want to help overlanders with some tips.
Safe travels
