Ocean Freight to Iraq
Ocean Freight Shipping to Iraq
Iraq is one of the 50 world powers in international trade. Only during 2017, its imports reached almost 30 billion dollars. It is a destination to take into account for its exports since it depends mainly on the same.
Although the main product exported from Iraq is crude oil (it accounts for 95% of its exports), the same does not happen on the import side. We find a more diversified import of products, ranging from household products or technical equipment to food products or music players.
India and China are its most outstanding business partners, almost equally. The United States, Greece, or South Africa also stand out.
FCL or LCL for your ocean freight to Iraq
For your international shipment to Iraq, you must choose between a full container (FCL) or a container in groupage (LCL or shared container).
The first option is the best if you send more than six pallets of standard size, or when your merchandise cannot go with third-party shipments. Also, depending on the total volume, you must select the 20-foot container or the 40-foot container.
In case of not having fragile merchandise and large size, the option of a shared container would be favorable, paying only the necessary space inside the container.
