Customs Clearance Kurdistan – Complete Guide to KRG & Federal Iraqi Regulations

The Kurdistan Region is undergoing a major customs transformation. Under Decision 597, KRG is aligning its tariff system with federal Iraq, replacing flat fees with structured duties from 0.5% to 30% based on HS codes across 16,400 items.
