Car park Turkye/Iran border

Next year (2017) we would like to make a tour with our bikes in Iran
Is it possible to park a car with trailer on the Turkey / Iran border for some weeks?

I crossed Gurbulak border a few day ago and I saw loads of trucks parked and some cars as well, the whole road is full of vehicles parked and only 1 lane is used for traffic, so I would say you can park your car there, near the Turkish border gate without any issues.

I didn't see any actual parking like in airports but I wouldn't be concerned about security in the border to be honest.

Enjoy, Iran is a wonderful country to explore!

No,You can not do it without paperwork with customs according to customs rule nr.1 for permanent imported vehicles (and touristic entrances)..

(Geçici İthal Edilen Taşıtlara İlişkin Gümrük Genel Tebliği Seri No:1)
The law says (29/9/2009 dd. and ref. 2009/15481 nr.4458);

If you enter Turkey with a vehicle,it will be stamped on your passport page.Then you have to leave the country with it or apply local customs management to leave the country without it..
you have 2 choices:
1-park it at the customs zone after getting the written permission.
2-you can park it anywhere inside the country if your undertaking is accepted by the customs management.

Note the law number as it is needed in the application letter or you can remind me in 2017 to write your turkish application letter.

All the best..

NOTE;
@david
all vehicles on the lines at bordergates are in the waiting mood for customs paperwork or waiting to complete the missing documents/invoices for the goods found in them,etc. so as to be let to exit the country..Most probably carrying illegal goods for İran, or more than the permitted amounts..

Thanks Mehmet.
Will it be no problem to enter your country with 1 car, 1 trailer and 3 bikes?. In the past there were also problems if you brought in more vehicles then people.

Amounts of vehicles and entering tourists must be the same..In addition 1 owner of a numberplated vehicle can bring a trailer and a seaboat or jet-ski..Nomore than 1 vehicle permitted even registrated in your name or you have letter of attorneys..
Except international organisations with a different paperwork and transit passes on a tır carnet..
My friends always keep additional vehicles parking in Bulgaria motocamps..

Thats the law you will obey..:
