The Embassy's Trade Promotion sector (SECOM) recommends that Brazilian companies check the background of Iranian companies before signing a contract or making any bank transfer in favor of these companies. One possibility is to contact the “Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture of Iran (ICCIMA)” directly, using the following contact details to check whether the Iranian company is a regularly registered entity active in the sector:
(Mr.) Ali Reza Piroozan, Europe & Americas Senior Specialist

Recently, a case of fraud occurred with the supposed company “Gulf Petroleum Company”. After alerting a Brazilian company, ICCIMA confirmed that, contrary to what was stipulated on its website ( http://gulf-petro.com ), “Gulf Petroleum Company” has no relationship with “Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries” nor with the “Isfahan Oil Refinery”.
