| Dangerous goods | IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air |
Many products need a Certificate of Conformity through Iraq's verification-of-conformity (VoC) programme before shipment, so check the requirement for your HS codes early. Hazardous and dual-use chemicals usually require ministry import approval, and APIs and medicines are regulated by the Ministry of Health, which generally asks for registration and batch testing. Security conditions affect routing and insurance, so agree the Incoterm and cover in advance. The Kurdistan Region may apply its own procedures for cargo entering through Erbil. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.
