The Iraqi Customs Authority has announced new procedural measures to enhance the country’s import and export environment. These updates aim to reduce administrative bottlenecks and improve the overall efficiency of cross-border trade operations.

The reforms are expected to positively impact enforcement capabilities at the border, particularly in addressing counterfeit goods and facilitating smoother clearance of legitimate shipments. Enhanced coordination between customs departments and other government agencies is also part of the initiative.

These developments support Iraq’s broader efforts to modernize its trade infrastructure and align with international standards, offering improved predictability for rights holders and businesses engaged in cross-border commerce.
