We would like to inform you of an important compliance matter concerning recent import practices at the Northern Port of Umm Qasr.
According to Iraq’s Ministry of Transportation, importing vehicles in containers without clearly stating their model information is a direct violation of the country’s established import rules and regulations.
We strongly urge all shippers at the loading ports to strictly comply with import regulations, especially by ensuring that:
All vehicles are properly documented with accurate model information.
No restricted or unlawful goods are included in the shipments.
Please be advised that any future violations may result in legal action being taken by our company against those responsible for breaching import conditions.
