FMCG sourcing and export to Iraq

Loads leave Çorlu and cross at Habur into Zakho. It is the busiest land gate between the two countries, and it is why Turkish FMCG reaches Iraqi wholesale on a timescale sea freight from anywhere else cannot match.

Mixed loads matter more here than they do in Europe. An Iraqi wholesaler is usually buying breadth — ambient groceries, soft drinks, biscuits, detergent, shampoo — against one budget and one delivery, and splitting that across five suppliers means five sets of terms for a single truck. We consolidate it into one order, one document set and one number to call when something needs chasing.

The site, the trading terms and your quotation are in Arabic.

What travels with it

• Invoice, packing list and certificate of origin
• Export health or conformity certificate from the provincial agriculture directorate, for food and beverages
• Halal certification issued for the producing facility, where the product calls for it

Conformity and inspection requirements at the destination depend on the individual product and on the regime in force when the consignment moves. We confirm what your order needs before quoting, and the documents we prepare travel with the goods rather than following them.

One thing to settle first

Brand owners set their own rules about where their goods may be resold, and those rules do not follow the map in any obvious way. Send the brands with the quantities and we check them against the destination before quoting.
