Republic of Iraq Certificate of Registration (CoR) Scheme for Manufacturers and Suppliers

The ‘State Company for Iraqi Fairs and Commercial Services’,a subsidiary of the Ministry of Trade in the Republic of Iraq, has implemented the Certificate of Registration (CoR) program for manufacturers and suppliers from exporting countries.

The CoR program commenced on June 1st, 2021 with a gradual implementation by product categories and in accordance with a specified schedule. Certificates of Registration are now a mandatory pre-requisite to obtain the Import License of regulated products for the Republic of Iraq.

The aim of the CoR program is to validate the credibility of exporting parties prior to their goods entering the Iraqi market. It does not only promote governance and safeguards the integrity of the trade environment, it also protects the end consumer whilst minimizing risk for importers and traders.

Global manufacturers also benefit from enhanced ease of doing business and speed to market. As a reputable gateway for global trade, TÜV Rheinland has been appointed by the ‘State Company for Iraqi Fairs and Commercial Services’ as the sole independent Certification Body authorized to issue the Certificate of Registration.

As a leading independent provider in the Testing, Inspection, and Certification industry, TÜV Rheinland’s tradition of excellence dates back to when the company was established 150 years ago. Our proven experience in conformity assessment and inspection services makes us a trusted and reliable partner to facilitate smooth market access to the Republic of Iraq.

The Certificate of Registration (CoR) Program - when fully implemented in 2021 - does not adress specific products, but in general ​all manufacturers and suppliers exporting to Iraq.
