Simplify Your Exports to Iraq with Export2Gulf
Planning to export your products to Iraq?
Depending on the product category and applicable Iraqi import regulations, your shipment may require a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) or a Certificate of Inspection (CoI) before shipment.
Export2Gulf provides professional coordination and technical support to help exporters navigate Iraq’s conformity assessment requirements, prepare the necessary documentation, arrange laboratory testing and inspections, and facilitate the certification process through authorized conformity assessment bodies.
Our goal is to help you prepare compliant shipments, reduce documentation errors, and minimize the risk of customs delays or non-conformity issues.
Understanding Iraq CoC and CoI Requirements
Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
A CoC is required for regulated products covered by Iraq’s Pre-Import Inspection, Testing and Certification Program (ICIGI).
The certification process verifies that products comply with applicable Iraqi Standards (IQS) and technical regulations.
Certificate of Inspection (CoI)
A CoI applies to non-regulated goods under the relevant Iraqi inspection and import procedures.
The applicable certification requirements are determined based on the product description, HS Code, and current Iraqi regulatory requirements.
Products That May Require an Iraq CoC
The Iraqi conformity assessment program covers various product categories, including:
- Food Products: Processed foods, beverages, dairy products, edible oils, and canned foods.
- Electrical & Electronic Products: Household appliances, electrical cables, lighting equipment, and electrical accessories.
- Construction Materials: Cement, ceramic tiles, glass, gypsum products, and selected metal products.
- Chemical Products: Detergents, paints, cosmetics, and personal care products.
- Plastic & Rubber Products: Selected plastic pipes, rubber products, and tires.
- Textiles: Selected garments, home textiles, carpets, and related products.
- Safety Products: Fire extinguishers and specified firefighting materials.
