Frequently Asked Questions

What are the customs requirements for importing hygiene products to Iraq?

Iraq requires a Certificate of Origin, commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading, and a Certificate of Conformity (CoC). Products must meet Iraqi Standards Organization (COSQC) requirements. We provide all export documentation and can arrange third-party inspection at origin.

Is it easier to import through Kurdistan Region vs Baghdad?

Kurdistan Region (KRI) generally has more streamlined import procedures through Ibrahim Khalil border crossing from Turkey. Customs clearance in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah is often faster than Baghdad. Many traders import via Kurdistan and distribute to central and southern Iraq.

What documentation is needed for Letter of Credit (LC) transactions?

For LC transactions with Iraqi banks, you need: proforma invoice, commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin (EUR.1 or standard), insurance certificate, and SGS/Bureau Veritas inspection certificate. We handle all documentation requirements for LC compliance.

Can I pay through Dubai banks for Iraq orders?

Yes, many Iraqi traders use Dubai-based intermediary banks for international transactions. We regularly work with payment routing through UAE banks. TT transfers via Dubai, confirmed LCs through Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI), and cash-against-documents (CAD) through Dubai are all accepted.

What are the transit times to Iraqi ports?

Sea freight from European ports to Umm Qasr/Basra takes 12-16 days. For Kurdistan, overland via Turkey through Ibrahim Khalil border crossing takes 5-8 days from our European warehouses. Combined sea-land routes via Mersin, Turkey are also available.

Baby diapers are the top seller due to Iraq's young population (40% under 15). Medium and Large sizes dominate. Baby pants are rapidly growing in urban areas like Baghdad and Erbil.
