The Iraqi Central Standards and Quality Control Organization will implement a pre import inspection, testing, and certification program (ICIGI), aimed at restricting the import of substandard, counterfeit, and substandard products into Iraq and protecting its domestic consumers, producers, environment, and public safety. All products within the scope of the pre import inspection, testing, and certification program (ICIGI) in Iraq must submit a Certificate of Conformity (COC) issued by an authorized third-party inspection company when imported into Iraq, otherwise the goods will not be able to be cleared at the destination port in Iraq.
Products that require COC certification:
Iraq's COC involves at least 12 product categories, currently including: food, toys, electrical and electronic products, automobiles, tires and automotive parts, construction products, cosmetics, personal hygiene products and cleaning agents, daily hardware, kitchenware, chemicals, textiles and footwear, household gas appliances, and other 12 major categories of products.
