Iraq is a major oil-producing nation in the Middle East and a significant market for reconstruction-related imports including machinery, construction materials, and consumer goods. The US lifted most comprehensive sanctions on Iraq following the 2003 invasion, though targeted sanctions remain against specific individuals and entities. Iraq's economy is heavily dependent on petroleum exports, which account for the vast majority of government revenue and foreign exchange earnings.
Comprehensive US sanctions on Iraq were lifted after 2003. However, OFAC maintains targeted designations against specific Iraqi individuals and entities. All counterparties should be screened against the SDN list prior to any transaction.
Crude petroleum overwhelmingly dominates Iraq's exports, accounting for over 90% of export revenue. Other minor exports include dates and refined petroleum products.
Imports into Iraq generally require a commercial invoice, certificate of origin, packing list, bill of lading, and an import license for certain goods. Some products may require additional ministry approvals or conformity certificates.
