Why source Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon from Sri Lanka

Duty & tariff treatment for Iraq

There is no preferential agreement between Sri Lanka and Iraq, so imports follow Iraq’s standard (MFN) tariff. Confirm the rate for your HS line. Iraq is, however, one of the largest export markets for Ceylon tea, with strong, long-standing demand.

A standard certificate of origin (often legalized) is required; there is no FTA preference to claim.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Iraq General Commission for Customs, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our landed-cost calculator. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for Iraq

Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering Iraq. Activated carbon is traded on technical specs (iodine number, ash, mesh); the EU also requires REACH compliance, and water- or food-grade carbon must meet the relevant purity standards (e.g. NSF, EN 12915). Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with Iraq’s customs and standards authority.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our export documents checklist for the full set.
