Sea freight is the most cost-effective solution for transporting large shipments from China to Iraq.

Typical transit time from major Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo, or Shenzhen to Umm Qasr Port ranges from 15 to 25 days. Logistics Groups ensures smooth customs clearance at Umm Qasr Port and efficient inland delivery to Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Babylon, and Erbil.
Air freight provides the fastest solution for urgent or high-value shipments. Transit from China to Iraq generally takes 3 to 6 days, arriving at Baghdad International Airport. Air shipments are ideal for electronics, pharmaceuticals, perishable goods, and high-value items, benefiting from faster customs clearance and minimal handling risk. Logistics Groups provides airport-to-door service to guarantee your cargo reaches its destination efficiently and safely.
