Advisory on Import Violations – Vehicles Without Model Declaration in Containers at Umm Qasr Port

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.

Thank you
