14. Border Crossings (Commercial)
Trucks arrive at the border with cargo and go to customs control point. At the border, trucks must possess
the packing list, commercial invoice for the cargo in possession & certificate of origin if applicable. Iraqi
customs have their own documents/books that value the percentage to be paid on different types of oil
equipment. The average duties and taxes that are applicable are between 5 - 10% on most oil equipment.
We have formerly requested to get a copy of this book from customs but it is unlikely that our request will be
granted.
Once the value is determined by the Iraqi customs officials, duties & taxes are paid and receipt is given for
the duties and importation into Iraq. It is vital that the original receipts for duties/taxes and importation be
filed in a safe location as they will be needed in order to export the cargo (rig) out of Iraq for repair or upon
completion of the project. Temporary import is possible and standard for oil equipment that is not going to
be staying permanently in Iraq. At this time customs is informing us that in order to do this, a representative
of the oil company that the equipment is consigned to, needs to be present at the border. We have asked if
the end consignee can appoint a representative from a company who will be responsible for the transport of
the given commodity and are currently awaiting feedback.
Tax Exempt & Documents required:
- Commercial invoice
- Certificate of Origin
- Bill of Lading
- Levy exemption from Ministry of Interior
- A signed letter to Move One on client s letter head authorizing us to be the import and delivery agent
- Move One will draft import request letter to the Ministry of Interior
- These documents can be requested to be translated by the customs authorities in either Arabic or Kurdish.
-Consignee is to provide duty exemption documents 7days prior to shipment arrival at port of entry and
consignee representative to be present at port of entry border customs to take release order from officials.
-We have recently learned that Oil and Gas companies will have the ability of importing tax exempt as per
Article 25 of the contracts signed with the Iraqi Government. However Move One has yet to obtain a
definitive answer as to if this would be respected by the Iraqi Customs officials and the Ministry of Finance.
Article 25 stipulates:
Contractor and Operator and respective Sub-Contractors engaged in Petroleum Operations shall be
permitted to import machinery, equipment, vehicles, materials, supplies, consumables and movable
property to be used solely for the purpose of carrying out Petroleum Operations and supporting
activities. Such imports shall be exempt from customs duties and levies provided that applicable
administrative formalities are complied with.

15. To Avoid
Iraq is a developing nation with a shaky government system, therefore it is often tempting for foreign
companies to use bribes to accelerate local procedures and by-pass what is often a complicated and
extensive process. Government officials can easily be bought and there lies the problem, they are
government officials. As these officials control access to Iraq and their decision determines if goods can
enter the country, they can easily request more bribes in the future. If imports into Iraq will be ongoing,
these bribes may end up being fairly substantial by the end. The amounts will keep increasing, and there
will be no option but to pay this extra money in order to import the goods. Move One recommends following
the rules in place to avoid problems down the road.
Visa’s
Move One can obtain 10 day single entry visit visa s for its customers. We can also assist and instruct our
customers how to begin the process and of the documents required to obtain registrations in Kurdistan and
Iraq if required.
Warehousing
Southern Iraq and Kurdistan do not have very large covered warehouses. The biggest Move One has
access to runs around 2500 square meters with many others available as well, nevertheless, there is plenty
of secured, uncovered lay-down area available in both regions. Lay-down area is readily available,
although most owners are starting to look for long term tenants due to increasing demand.
Airfreight
Move One has the ability to move air freight via Sharjah to either Baghdad, Erbil, or Basra and bring to final
destination by truck, although at the moment only dedicated charters can be operated into Basra. The ability
to send smaller freight consolidated with other freight into Basra will develop as the area becomes busier.
Insurance
Move One, through its affiliated partner, can offer insurance ranging from worker related, assets related,
and general liability.
Security
Iraqi security teams can be provided for convoy operations if required. Convoy size range from 1 to 8 trucks
with additional bobtails provided in case of breakdown.
