Middle EastChemical Supplier & Exporter to Iraq
Iraq's chemical imports are driven by its oil sector around Basra and Kirkuk, which needs demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, solvents and treatment chemicals, and by the reconstruction of water, power and healthcare systems. State and private hospitals, the Samarra pharmaceutical plant and university labs purchase reagents and APIs, while Erbil serves as a separate commercial gateway for the Kurdistan Region. We ship to Umm Qasr by sea and to Baghdad, Basra or Erbil by air, and work with buyers to arrange conformity certificates and cargo insurance before dispatch.

Many product categories need a Certificate of Conformity issued through Iraq's verification-of-conformity (VoC) programme before shipment, and hazardous or dual-use chemicals typically require ministry import approval. APIs and medicines are regulated by the Ministry of Health, which generally requires registration and batch testing. Security conditions affect routing and cargo insurance, so buyers should confirm clearance and insurance arrangements in advance. The Kurdistan Region may apply its own procedures.
