What it is

The Kurdistan Region runs a pre-shipment conformity programme, Consignment-Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA). Intertek publishes the programme page and the regulated products list (issued 25 July 2023) and names itself the sole certification body for it. The list is Intertek’s document: it is linked here, not hosted. What we can state from KRG texts is limited: General Customs Instruction 7/2020, the Region’s base customs text, contains no general pre-shipment Certificate of Conformity programme; the Certificate of Conformity rule for vehicles is Interior Ministry Instruction 14/2025 (Art. 3(1) pt 4 and Art. 4). Everything else on this page about the CBCA programme is Intertek’s own statement.

The 119 categories, grouped

• Toys
• Vehicle parts and tyres
• Construction products — cement, steel, pipes, tiles, sanitary ware
• Household hardware
• Kitchenware
• LPG and kerosene appliances
• Stationery
• Measuring equipment
• Baby items
• Jewellery
• Non-electric medical devices
• Generator engines

Which certification body applies today

Intertek’s page names Intertek as the sole certification body for the Kurdistan programme. As of 29 September 2026: Intertek’s own exporter guide names Ibrahim Khalil as the crossing its programme covers, and Bureau Veritas (through Razga Co) was announced in December 2017 for the Iran-border crossings — Bashmagh, Siran Band, Tawella and Kelleh; whether that arrangement still applies is unconfirmed. Confirm the current certification body with your clearing agent before booking a pre-shipment inspection. On the tariff portal a quality-control requirement shows as the column كوالتي. That column is wider than this list: it is also set on lines for complete goods vehicles, which Intertek’s list does not name (KRG tariff snapshot of 2026-10-13) — see the guide.
