Which Tool for Which Task?
- Budgeting a New Iraq Shipment? Start with the Freight Cost Calculator and Customs Duty Calculator to estimate total landed costs before committing to suppliers or quotes.

- Preparing Documentation? Download the appropriate templates (Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading) to ensure Iraqi Customs format compliance from the start.

Iraq-Specific Tips
- Security Fees Are Real: Our calculators include Iraq-specific security fees and checkpoint surcharges that generic freight calculators miss—don't be surprised by hidden costs.
- Arabic Documentation Speeds Clearance: While English is often accepted, bilingual Arabic/English documentation (like our templates) reduces customs delays by 30-40%.
- Border Wait Times Vary Widely: Transit time estimates account for current border conditions, but build buffer time into critical shipments (especially Turkey-Iraq and Iran-Iraq crossings).
- Temporary Import Licenses Save Massive Duties: If importing equipment temporarily, consult our TIL guidance before shipping to avoid paying 25%+ duties on re-exportable gear.
When to Use Tools vs. Consult an Expert
These resources are powerful for routine logistics planning and standard shipments. However, some scenarios require expert consultation:
- Consult an Expert When: Shipping dangerous goods, navigating complex sanctions issues, handling temporary import licenses, dealing with customs disputes, managing oversized/specialized cargo, or operating in conflict-affected areas
- Self-Service Works When: Standard commercial shipments, routine documentation preparation, preliminary cost estimation, compliance checklist verification, general research about Iraq logistics procedures
