Frequently Asked Questions
How do you ship hotel linen from India to Iraq?
The main route is sea freight from Cochin (Kerala) to Umm Qasr Port (Basra, Iraq) — approximately 14–20 days. From Umm Qasr, goods are transported by road to Baghdad, Basra city, Karbala, or Najaf. For Erbil and Kurdish regions, sea freight arrives at Umm Qasr then 12–15 hours by road to Erbil, or air freight directly to Erbil International Airport (3–5 days from Cochin). We advise buyers on the most practical routing based on their destination city.
What specifications do Iraq hotels require?
Iraq's 5-star hotels in Erbil (Divan, Rotana) specify 550–650 GSM combed cotton towels comparable to GCC standards. Baghdad's international hotels specify 400–550 GSM. Karbala and Najaf pilgrimage hotels specify 500–550 GSM durable-grade towels (similar to Makkah/Madinah) due to high occupancy and laundry intensity. Bed linen ranges from 200TC (budget) to 400TC (4-star) and 600TC (5-star Erbil).
Are there any documentation requirements specific to Iraq imports?
Iraq requires standard import documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin. A certificate of conformity may be required by Iraqi customs for some textile products. Arabic care labels are strongly recommended. We advise working with a Baghdad or Basra-based customs clearing agent familiar with current Iraqi import procedures, as requirements can evolve. We provide all standard export documentation and can support customs agents with technical product information.
