Foreign Military Sale (FMS) Cargo

The LEW form is not accepted by Kurdish Customs without additional approval from the respective Kurdish ministries. We will need to submit the LEW along with the supporting documents to the Kurdish MOI. This would add additional 2-3weeks to the process (Ministry of Finance will need approve the duty and tax exemption of the import during the process).

Recommended point of entries for FMS is:

Baghdad Airport, Basrah Airport, Safwan border crossing and Umm Qasr

Commercial Cargo

General cargo:

Move One’s registered office in Erbil can be listed as consignee on the documents and be the importer of record in case the consignee is not registered in KRG and doesn’t have import license. We will require the list of items in advance in order to confirm what items we can and what items we cannot import. For example food items, certain DG material, communication equipments, tactical items cannot be imported under our license.

Required documents:

CMR, commercial invoice, packing list and BV Certificate for the regulated items (Kurdish rules are to be followed).

Important note:

Import of food items: the consignee must be registered with Ministry of Health and have their import approval for the products. Packing of food items must match the Iraqi requirements, during customs clearance samples will be taken at the border and sent to Dohuk MOH Directorate for inspection. It usually takes 3-4days to receive the results.

Oil and Gas Cargo

Diplomatic Cargo

Diplomatic shipments are entitled for duty and tax exemption at IK border as well. Shipments will require diplomatic note (duty and tax exemption).
