Air cargo to Baghdad, Basra and Erbil.
Iraq has been one of our regular routes for years. The flights are the easy part. What matters is getting the Certificate of Conformity right and routing the cargo to the right side of the country.
Two routes into one country.
Federal Iraq
Baghdad and Basra- Airports: Baghdad (BGW) and Basra (BSR)
- Sea freight through Umm Qasr
- Certificate of Conformity needed for many goods
Kurdistan Region
Erbil and Sulaymaniyah- Airports: Erbil (EBL) and Sulaymaniyah (ISU)
- Often the quicker way for buyers in the north
- Customs rules can differ, so we check each time
The Certificate of Conformity, step by step.

Inspection in the UK
An approved inspection company checks the goods and documents before they leave.
Certificate issued
The CoC goes with the shipment and is checked by Iraqi customs on arrival.
Flight and delivery
We book the flight, and our agent clears and delivers in Iraq.
What we usually send to Iraq.
Spare parts and equipment for oil, gas and construction work. Medical supplies. Food products. Samples and documents. Dangerous goods are accepted with the right declaration.
Some products are restricted or banned. Tell us what is in the shipment before you book and we will confirm.
Iraq shipping questions.
How long does the CoC inspection take?
It depends on the inspection company's diary and how ready the goods and paperwork are. Book it as soon as the order is packed and we plan collection around it.
Are the rules the same for Kurdistan?
Not always. Requirements can differ between federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, so we check them for each shipment.
Can you ship personal effects to Iraq?
In some cases, yes, with restrictions on what can go. Tell us what is in the boxes and we will tell you what is allowed.
Send us the details.
Weights, box sizes and where it is going. You get a clear price back the same day.
