Shipping steps from Turkey to Iraq:

There are a set of steps that must be followed when importing from Turkey to Iraq, as follows:

First: travel to Turkey

This is the first step that you must take, as traveling to Turkey you will be able to visit to factories, laboratories, and markets, and thus full knowledge of the goods or products that you wish to import.

Traveling to Turkey helps you inspect the products face to face with the product and compare them in terms of quality and price. You will certainly get different price offers for these products from factories, and thus you can choose the best offer for your budget and the product that is closest to the specifications desired by the market in Iraq. 

And in the event that you find it difficult to travel to Turkey, you can rely on the Internet in your import process, by communicating with suppliers, choosing products that suit your needs, obtaining quotations, and then agreeing with the supplier to ship the goods to the port you want. 

And if you want the most reliable way to import from Turkey, it is to cooperate with a specialized company for the export of Turkish goods, where we at Trusty Trans can identify the best suppliers and manufacturers, choose the best products that meet your needs, and get the best prices.

In Trusty Trans, we bear all responsibilities related to arranging the receipt of goods, packaging operations in Turkey, internal shipping, and facilitating customs clearance operations, up to the export of the product that you have approved to Iraq.

Second: Searching for the appropriate supplier and product in the Turkish market

As we mentioned previously, traveling to Turkey provides the ability to search for the appropriate supplier and product, view products that match the needs of your target market, and obtain prices that are appropriate for you.

There are several factors that should be followed when choosing the supplier with whom you want to cooperate:

• Choose the supplier that offers the highest quality product.
• Choose a supplier with good treatment and a good reputation in the commercial market, and who is committed to delivering the goods on time.
• Choose a supplier that adopts advanced technological methods and keeps pace with developments in the manufacturing and design of its products.
• Choose a supplier that allows products to be inspected in-house prior to delivery, which indicates compliance with the required and agreed quality standards, thus reducing the possibility of goods being rejected.
• Choose a supplier that has a strong financial position, which reduces the possibility of his activity stopping, increases his ability to provide your needs, and give you special discounts and financial facilities during the payment process. 

Third: Verifying documents and legal matters

Before starting your business, make sure that you have the official documents that allow import and export from Turkey, as these documents are a condition for dealing with shipping companies.

We will mention the most important documents you need to provide to start your import process from Iraq to Turkey, which we discussed in detail in a previous article: 

1- Your commercial or industrial registry, provided that it matches the goods you wish to import.

2- Your import document or card.

3- A commercial invoice certified by Turkey

4- An authorization certified by the Chamber of Commerce or Industry in Turkey for the purpose of customs clearance. 

5- Specifications conformity sheet issued by accredited Turkish authorities.

6- A bank document proving the transfer of financial dues for the imported goods to the supplier.

Fourth: Verifying some procedures related to the goods

Before completing the preparation and packaging of the goods for shipment, you must ensure some things that may constitute an obstacle preventing the goods from passing through customs and being seized, which can be summarized as follows:

1- Verify that the goods comply with the product quality standards, and that they comply with the specified specifications.

2- Verifying the papers required for customs procedures, and matching the data recorded therein with the imported goods. 

3- Verify that the country of origin of the imported goods is mentioned through the phrase “Made in Turkey”, because omission of it may cause the rejection of your goods at customs with the imposition of a fine.

4- Determine the “GTIP” code (customs tariff) accurately, given its importance in determining the documents and permits required to import goods, and the taxes that will be applied to them.

5- Verify that the goods are insured against risks such as accidents, fires and natural disasters that may occur during the import process.

6- Checking taxes and payments related to the import process, and customs procedures related to imported goods. 

7- Archive all documents related to the import process in order to show them in case of disputes, internal market audits and future investigations, if any.

Fifth: Cooperation with a company shipping goods from Turkey to Iraq and clearing them through customs

After choosing the appropriate supplier and product, and verifying all the necessary documents for the import process from Turkey to Iraq, you must search for a company that guarantees you quick and safe access to your imported goods, and a customs broker with experience in customs procedures for the goods.

Trusty Trans is the ideal choice for you, as it will bear all responsibilities related to the import process, from communicating with suppliers to shipping to your warehouse or your door step.
