Procurement & Logistics
Freight, logistics and warehousing
Sea, air and road freight into Iraq, with the documentation checked before the container sails — which is the part that decides whether it clears.
What you receive
- A checked document set before the goods move, not after they arrive
- One point of contact covering forwarder, broker and inland transport
- Delivery inspection with a photographic record
- Stock records you can reconcile against purchase orders
Import into Iraq is a documentation exercise with a transport component attached. The freight is the easy part; the conformity certificates, the import documentation and the broker relationship are where consignments are lost for weeks.
We coordinate the forwarders and the licensed customs brokers, check the documentation before shipment rather than after, and hold the stock records once the goods land.

Common questions
Do you act as the customs broker?
Customs clearance is a licensed activity, so a licensed broker does it. We select the broker, check the licence and insurance, manage them day to day and verify their invoices.
Can you guarantee clearance times?
Clearance depends on the authority, the documentation and the consignment. What we control is the documentation — checked and correct before the goods move — which is what most delays turn on.
Do you hold stock in your own name?
Warehousing is arranged with providers we select and inspect, and the stock is held in your name with records kept against your purchase orders.
