Shipping to Iraq: FAQ

Ocean transit from the U.S. to Umm Qasr is typically 50–60 days, depending on the port of loading. Add 3–10 days for inland pickup and loading.

Which ports in Iraq do you ship to?

Can I ship a salvage or auction car to Iraq?

In many cases yes, but salvage and age rules depend on Iraq customs. We check eligibility for your exact vehicle before you buy.

Can I put more than one car in a container to Iraq?

Yes. A 20' container fits 1–2 cars, a 40' or 40' High Cube usually fits 3–4, and a 45' High Cube up to 4–5, depending on vehicle size. Sharing a container with other customers lowers the cost per car.

How will I know where my car is?

Your private portal shows the receiving and loading photos, the VIN, the title status, the container number and live tracking all the way to Iraq.
