Picture this: U.S is your queen, Iraq is the king, and the sea is your playing board. Flying goods 'checkmates' with speed but can get pricey.\nThe road-rail combo delivers a cost-effective solution, but there's a catch \u2013 it's a tad slower and lengthy border procedures may put a damper. Sea transport, however, sails in as the hero, optimizing both cost and volume.\nYour game plan? Marry the method to your specific needs. After all, shipping mastery is about making the right moves.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cac8efd link-list-item-destination elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-link-list-widget\" data-id=\"2cac8efd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-link-list-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"link-list-item text-center\">\r\n            <ul class=\"m-0 p-0\">\r\n                <li>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#main-shipping\">\r\n                            Sea Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#air-freight\">\r\n                            Air Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#road-freight\">\r\n                            Road Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#door-to-door\">\r\n                            Door-to-Door                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#customer-clear\">\r\n                            Customs                        <\/a>\r\n                                    <\/li>\r\n            <\/ul>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-237d0d28 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"237d0d28\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65d83810 sidebar-sticky elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"65d83810\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54029a73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-table-of-content-widget\" data-id=\"54029a73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-table-of-content-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"table-of-content-list-item\">\r\n            <div class=\"title d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center\">\r\n                Table of Contents                <label class=\"docshipper switch\">\r\n                    <input type=\"checkbox\" checked>\r\n                    <span class=\"slider round\"><\/span>\r\n                <\/label>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <!-- TOC -->\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"toc-container\">\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"note-content\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/docshipper\/assets\/img\/cta.png')\">\r\n            <p class=\"text-white\">Need help with your shipment?<\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"text-white\">Need assistance with your shipment?

This means only your merchandise fills and seals the container from origin to destination.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use: <\/strong>FCL shipping is a cost-effective and safer choice when the volume of your cargo exceeds 13 to 15 cubic meters (CBM). It's beneficial for high-volume shipments due to economies of scale and also provides enhanced safety, ensuring that the goods remain untouched until unsealed at their destination.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example: <\/strong>Let's say you're a manufacturer of construction equipment in the US, exporting multiple heavy machines to Iraq. Considering the volume and weight, an FCL container would be ideal. You'll receive an FCL shipping quote and make arrangements for a suitable size of the container, without any shared space.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications: <\/strong>While FCL may be slightly more expensive upfront due to the exclusive use of the container, if your cargo is more substantial, it typically results in a lower cost per unit shipped. By filling an entire 20'ft or 40'ft container, the overall shipment cost is distributed across more items, making it cheaper in the long run.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/LCL-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Less than Container Load\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/ocean-freight\/#:~:text=LCL%20Freight,by%20LCL.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LCL or 'Less than Container Load<\/a>' refers to a method of shipping where your goods occupy a portion of a container and share it with the cargo of other shippers. It's a cost-efficient solution favored in international logistics.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> For cargo that doesn't fill up a whole container (approximately less than 13 to 15 CBM), opting for LCL shipment can offer both cost savings and flexibility. It allows businesses to ship goods more frequently and without the pressure of filling an entire container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Let's assume small US-based toy manufacturer wants to ship a single pallet, about 2 CBM, of toys to a retailer in Iraq. Instead of waiting to have enough goods to fill a container, they can ship the goods whenever they are ready using LCL freight, thus delivering the products faster and maintaining a consistent supply.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> The cost of LCL shipping is typically determined by the volume that the cargo occupies in the container. So, even though the per-unit cost might be higher than full container load (FCL), for small volumes, the overall cost could still be lower. Remember, additional costs such as port handling fees, customs duties, or freight charges will still apply.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">With DocShipper, shipping cargo between the US and Iraq becomes a breeze.

On the other hand, <strong>volumetric weight<\/strong>, sometimes called dimensional weight, estimates the weight of the shipment based on the space it takes up within the cargo bay.<\/p><br><p><strong>In Air cargo, volumetric weight is typically calculated using the formula: Length x Width x Height (in cm) \/ 6000. Suppose you&#8217;re shipping a pallet of goods from US to Iraq that is 120cm long, 80cm wide and 100 cm high. You&#8217;d calculate dimensional weight as follows: 120 x 80 x 100 \/ 6000 = 160 kgs (approximately 353 lbs).<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Gross weight is simpler &#8211; it&#8217;s just the weight of the goods on the scale, packaging included. <strong>Let&#8217;s say your same pallet weighs 200 kgs on the scale, that\u2019s about 441 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Express Air Freight usually operates with a slightly different formula for volumetric weight: Length x Width x Height (in cm) \/ 5000. For the same pallet dimensions, the volumetric weight would be: 120 x 80 x 100 \/ 5000 = 192 kgs (423 lbs).<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Now, for pricing. Freight charges are generally based on either the gross weapon or the volumetric weight &#8211; whichever is higher. This is because space on an aircraft is just as valuable as the weight it can carry.<\/p><br><p>For our hypothetical shipment, in both air cargo and express freight scenarios, the gross weight of <strong>200 kgs (441 lbs)<\/strong> would be used to calculate freight charges.

These include the country of manufacture or production, the Harmonized System (HS) Code, the customs value of the goods, and the tariff rate applicable in Iraq, along with any other additional taxes or fees.<\/p><br><p>In essence, the crux of estimating duties and taxes begins with pinpointing the country where your goods have been manufactured or produced. This is an integral step because duties and taxes are primarily determined by the product&#8217;s origin.<\/p><br><p>Whether your goods are made in one facility or several locations in the US will impact the total cost of importing them into Iraq. As each country has its trade agreements and regulations, the country of origin can hugely influence the amount of payable duty.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3917991 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a3917991\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86910e2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"86910e2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3><br><p>Firstly, identifying your product&#8217;s <strong>Country of Origin<\/strong> is non-negotiable. It dictates trade relations and agreements between your export country, the U.S., and your import destination, Iraq. It determines if your goods benefit from lower or zero tariffs. Second, it outlines the rules of origin.<\/p><br><p>These govern how your products are classified and can influence the import rules in Iraq. Third, understanding the Country of Origin aids you in complying with import restrictions. For example, Iraq has specific restrictions on certain American goods.<\/p><br><p>Moving on, this step is crucial in calculating customs duties. Specific countries have preferential rates, and determining your product&#8217;s origin provides an accurate estimate. Lastly, it helps to avoid customs complications. Providing transparent and correct information not only speeds up the process but also minimizes the risk of delays.<\/p><br><p>Iraq has a general trade agreement with the U.S. offering reduced customs tariffs for specific goods. Know your products and check the applicable trade agreements to maximize savings. Be wary though, as import regulations could change and restrictions vary based on the product. Always double-check the updated rules in Iraq for a smooth sail. Your international freight forwarder can be a great ally here, providing guidance and ensuring compliance.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44479e44 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"44479e44\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c986f79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c986f79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 2 &#8211; Find the HS Code of your product<\/h3><br><p><strong>The Harmonized System (HS) Code<\/strong> is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. It is used by customs authorities around the world to identify products accurately and swiftly when they&#8217;re being shipped internationally, thus simplifying the clearance process. This code is key to determining how much duty you will pay on your goods.<\/p><br><p><strong>Often, the simplest way to find an HS code is to ask your supplier. They&#8217;re usually familiar with the products they&#8217;re exporting, and aware of the corresponding HS codes and related regulations.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>If you can&#8217;t get this information from your supplier, don&#8217;t worry.

The type of Tariff commonly used in Iraq is the Harmonized System (HS) which assigns codes to goods to impose tariffs on imports from nations such as the US.<\/p><br><p>If you&#8217;re shipping, for example, computer monitors from the USA to Iraq, you&#8217;ll need its HS code, which is 852852.

Excise duty can be levied on certain products like tobacco, an example rate being 10% of the product value. Anti-dumping taxes are another import cost and apply when a product is sold substantially below its usual value &#8211;<strong> imagine a $200 product sold for $50. VAT is crucial. In Iraq, a standard rate is 20% of the customs value.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>But how do you calculate this? Here&#8217;s a formula: Customs Value x VAT rate. If your shipment is worth $5,000, then the VAT would be: $5,000 x 20% = $1,000.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, understanding these potential charges helps you avoid unexpected costs and ensures a smooth shipping process. Always consider consulting with a customs expert or freight forwarder for comprehensive guidance on your specific situation.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-124eacb4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"124eacb4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63b4f86f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"63b4f86f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>Knowing how to calculate customs duties is essential when importing goods from the US to Iraq. The formula is straightforward: Customs Value x Customs Duty Rate = Customs Duty. Now, VAT and anti-dumping taxes may also apply. Do note that Iraq&#8217;s standard VAT rate is <strong>15%<\/strong>.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s walk through three examples.<\/p><br><p>&#8211; <strong>Say your goods&#8217; customs value is $1,000 with a duty rate of 5%. You only have to calculate the customs duty: 1000 x 5\/100 = $50. Total charges: $50.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>&#8211;<strong> For the second scenario, let&#8217;s add in VAT. With a customs value of $1,000, a duty rate of 5%, and a VAT rate of 15%, first calculate the customs duty (as above, $50). Now add VAT: (1000+50) x 15\/100 = $157.50. Total charges: $207.50.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>&#8211; <strong>For our final case, include anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty. With the customs value of $1,000, a duty rate of 5%, VAT of 15%, an anti-dumping tax of 10%, and an Excise Duty of 20%, do these steps in order: customs duty is $50, VAT is $157.50 (calculated on $1,050), anti-dumping duty is $100, and Excise Duty is (1000+50+157.50+100)x20\/100 = $261.5. Total charges: $519.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, DocShipper can handle all these calculations and customs clearance for you worldwide, ensuring you never overpay.

Historically, the oil &#038; gas sector has been the mainstay, with Iraq being America&#8217;s sixth-largest source of imports and the US being Iraq&#8217;s largest investor. Agricultural goods, specifically wheat, rank next. Beyond that, bilateral investments and trade have covered infrastructure, healthcare, and education.<\/p><br><p>As per U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 saw an $11.197 billion trade volume between the two countries.
