Ways and steps to import from Turkey to Iraq

What are the conditions for importing from Turkey to Iraq?

The importer must observe the quality standards of the product and comply with the established specifications. It must not be manipulated by certain companies and factories in order to ensure a strong presence in the Iraqi market. If the importer does not have sufficient experience in examining and inspecting imported goods, then it can use one of the companies to inspect and inspect imported goods.

One of the very important matters that some importers may neglect is: not mentioning the country of origin or the source of the product - which here is Turkey - which may lead to the rejection of the goods at customs and the importer being charged a fine. Therefore, attention should be paid to this matter. If the goods were manufactured in Turkey, there must be a phrase - Made in Turkey - to avoid any problems or obstacles.

This, and there are a number of basic documents that must be present in order for the import contract to take place, which are:

1. The customer must have a commercial or industrial registry, or be registered on the shipping company's registry.
