The clearance stages we manage for you

  1. 01
    Review the file before arrival
    We review the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and bill of lading and fix any inconsistency before the shipment lands — the single biggest lever on clearance time.
  2. 02
    Correct customs classification
    We assign the precise HS Code, because misclassification means either higher duties or a violation.
  3. 03
    File the declaration and manage valuation
    We submit the customs declaration, track the valuation, and defend the declared value against any re-assessment.
  4. 04
    Inspection follow-up
    We track inspection procedures and expedite examination to reduce storage days and demurrage charges.
  5. 05
    Payment, release, and delivery
    We settle duties, obtain the release order, and coordinate inland transport to Baghdad, Erbil, or any governorate.

Frequently asked questions

How long does customs clearance take in Iraq?

Clearance typically takes 5 to 12 working days after the container arrives at Umm Qasr, provided documentation is complete. The most common delays come from missing documents or errors in classification or declared customs value.

What documents are required for customs clearance?

The commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and conformity certificates for certain goods — plus the customs declaration and importer identification number.

How are customs duties calculated?

Duties are calculated on the customs value (goods + freight + insurance) multiplied by the tariff rate for the HS Code, plus the reconstruction levy and service fees.

Do you handle land border clearance too?

Yes. We handle sea clearance via Umm Qasr and Abu Flus, and land borders for goods arriving from Turkey and Iran — including inland transport to your warehouse.
