The Republic of Iraq is a country in Western Asia. It borders Kuwait, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria. The Persian Gulf, which includes several ports, partially borders it.

Many Americans still spend significant time in Iraq for journalism and other professional reasons despite the dangers. If this describes your current situation, you might consider shipping a car overseas. With so many roads to choose from, having a car for transportation is highly recommended, as is over-relying on public conveyance.

The roadways in Iraq are mainly paved. It is easy to reach all parts of the country and its surrounding regions. The freedom of traveling with a personal vehicle will be helpful.

Methods of Importing an Automobile

Air, RO/RO, or container shipping can import a personal vehicle. Any of these methods is feasible, but not many can afford the high cost of air Dispatching, which is almost impractical for many.

• RO/RO shipping is the cheapest method. The vehicle must be empty when moving and able to drive onto and off the ship. However, RO/RO is not accepted by all ports.
• Container shipping allows a person to ship other belongings, as Iraq Customs allows. The vehicle and the remaining space in the container can be packed with property needing to be shipped over. The container comes in various sizes and can be shared with other individuals. The cost can be split between the people sharing the container.

• The Lift-on/Lift-off method of carriage requires a crane to pick up and place cargo on the boat. This hauling service is suggested for oversized crated cargo or large, inoperable vehicles.
• The roll-on/roll-off method of transport is an open-air service and the most cost-effective option. This requires your vehicle to be operable and to use a ramp to get on and off the cargo ship.
• Flat Rack shipping is beneficial for ferrying large boats, pipes, or machinery since they can be loaded from the ship's top or sides. Your cargo is secured to a large metal frame and placed on top of the cargo ship.
• Container shipping is the safest option and offers the most protection from poor weather conditions. You may be eligible for this option if your cargo can fit inside a 40-foot dispatching container.
