Import duty into Iraq is assessed by the General Commission of Customs on arrival, based on how the goods are classified and valued. Rates differ by product category, and Iraq also applies a reconstruction levy on many imports. Because valuation and paperwork are scrutinised closely, a clean commercial invoice is the single biggest factor in a fast clearance.
Alongside duty, Iraq applies a reconstruction levy on a broad range of goods, and category-specific duty rates on top. Iraq does not run a broad consumption VAT in the way many neighbours do, so the main charges are duty and the levy rather than a VAT line. As an indicative guide for 2026, budget for a moderate combined duty-and-levy percentage that varies by product, with the importer of record settling it at clearance. Confirm exact rates against the General Commission of Customs.
Iraq rewards good documentation. Customs pays close attention to invoices, values and descriptions, so we prepare a precise commercial invoice and packing list, help classify your goods and make sure everything is consistent before departure. If your entry needs a local broker or extra certificates, we coordinate it and keep you updated all the way to Baghdad, Basra or Erbil.
Dubai to Iraq is a short regional hop, so both air and road are on the table. Air express delivers in 2–3 days and is the right choice for documents, samples, electronics and urgent orders. Priced per kilo, it stays affordable for small and medium shipments and only gets expensive once the weight really builds up.
Road freight through the region is the budget option for heavy or bulky cargo. For pallets, equipment and large wholesale orders where a couple of extra days are fine, road costs much less per kilo than air. The decision comes down to weight and urgency: light and time-sensitive goes by air, heavy and flexible goes by road.
For most parcels and business samples bound for Baghdad, Basra or Erbil, air express is the practical default given how important tight timing and clean handoffs are on this lane. For heavy freight, ask us about road. Send the weight, contents and destination city on WhatsApp and we will quote both and recommend the cheaper fit.
Same DHL Express service. Same tracking. Much better price.
A 5kg parcel comes to roughly AED 344 with us (from AED 200 base plus about AED 32 per kilo), well under standard retail courier counter rates. Send the exact weight and dimensions for a firm quote.
Air express usually takes 2–3 days door to door to Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul and Najaf. Road freight for heavy cargo takes a little longer but is much cheaper per kilo when timing is flexible.
As an indicative guide for 2026, expect import duty based on your goods' classification plus a reconstruction levy applied to many imports. Iraq does not run a broad VAT like some neighbours, so duty and the levy are the main charges. The General Commission of Customs confirms exact rates, and the importer pays them.
Yes. Phones, laptops, accessories and gifts move on this lane regularly. They are dutiable, and Iraqi customs looks closely at values and descriptions, so declare contents accurately. Tell us what is inside and we will document it correctly before shipping.
We deliver to major cities including Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Mosul and Najaf, plus smaller towns. Air express is the standard fast service, and road freight is the economy choice for heavy or bulky loads.
Yes. We move e-commerce parcels, wholesale orders and pallet freight, and can open a corporate account with agreed rates, consolidated invoicing and priority handling. Given how document-heavy Iraqi clearance can be, a corporate setup keeps repeat shipments smooth. Share your volume and we will build a plan.
We'll WhatsApp you a confirmed rate within 2 hours.
