Located in Huangpu District, Guangzhou, our office enjoys convenient geographical advantages, with quick access to Hong Kong International Airport and major cities in the Pearl River Delta (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, etc.). This geographical advantage enables us to grasp the latest airport dynamics, flight schedules and air freight market trends in real time, and provide more responsive services for cargo pickup and transportation. We have established long-term strategic cooperative relations with well-known airlines such as Iraqi Airways (IA), Turkish Airlines (TK), Emirates Airlines (EK) and Qatar Airways (QR), and have obtained exclusive preferential freight rates and stable cargo space resources, which can truly realize cost-saving and time-efficient logistics services for customers engaged in Sino-Iraqi trade, especially Basrah-oriented business.

Core Service: From Hong Kong to Basrah Air Freight (China Import and Export)

Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is one of the world's top air cargo hubs, with advanced cargo handling facilities, efficient customs clearance processes and dense international flight networks. It is an ideal departure port for made-in-China goods exported to the Persian Gulf region, as it can quickly connect to major cities in the Pearl River Delta and global destinations. Basrah International Airport (BSR) is the second-largest airport in Iraq and a key air transport hub in southern Iraq, closely linked to Basrah Port—the largest seaport in Iraq. It radiates markets with a consumer group of more than 50 million people and serves as a vital gateway for Iraq's southern trade. As China and Iraq established a strategic partnership in 2015, bilateral trade has developed rapidly, with 2024 trade volume reaching 55 billion US dollars, and Basrah accounting for over 40% of Iraq's total imports, creating a broad market space for air freight services between Hong Kong and Basrah.
Targeting the Hong Kong-Basrah air freight route, we provide comprehensive air cargo services, including general cargo transportation, consolidated air freight (LCL), special cargo transportation (dangerous goods, fragile goods, perishables, medical supplies, petroleum equipment, building materials) and door-to-door one-stop services. According to the 2026 air freight market trend and the characteristics of Sino-Iraqi trade, the demand for air transportation of Chinese-made petroleum equipment, building materials and electronic products to Basrah will remain strong, driven by Iraq's southern oilfield development and infrastructure reconstruction. Relying on our resource advantages and professional service capabilities, we can provide customers with more cost-effective freight solutions while ensuring service quality, helping Chinese enterprises seize the Basrah market opportunity.

We will select the most stable and efficient flights for customers according to their delivery time requirements and cargo types, ensuring that goods arrive in Basrah on time to meet the needs of Sino-Iraqi trade.

Customers can check the cargo status (departure, transit, arrival, customs clearance) in real time through our official website or customer service. For urgent goods and key Sino-Iraqi trade orders (especially Basrah petroleum and infrastructure projects), our professional customer service team will update the cargo dynamics every 24 hours and timely feedback any unexpected situations and handling plans, ensuring that customers are informed of the cargo situation at all times.

Our Core Advantages: Best Services, Cheapest Prices, Fast Delivery

Against the background of the 2026 air freight market's focus on "operation quality" and "efficiency improvement" and the continuous deepening of Sino-Iraqi trade cooperation (especially Basrah's trade vitality), Betterluck Shipping has formed obvious competitive advantages by relying on professional capabilities and resource accumulation, and firmly fulfills the three core commitments to customers engaged in Hong Kong-Basrah air freight business:

1. Cheapest Prices with Transparent Charging

Relying on long-term strategic cooperation with top airlines (Iraqi Airways, Emirates Airlines, etc.) and large air cargo volume on the Hong Kong-Basrah route (especially for Chinese export goods to Basrah), we obtain first-hand preferential freight rates, which are 15%-25% lower than the market average for Basrah trade clients. In response to the 2026 market characteristic of "high freight rates", we optimize cost control through systematic management and in-depth cooperation with local logistics partners in Basrah (including port and airport logistics), and promise no hidden fees. All fees (air freight, handling fees, surcharges, etc.) are clearly listed in the quote, and a detailed cost breakdown is provided to ensure that customers can clearly understand every expenditure.

2. Fast Delivery with Stable Schedules

We optimize the air freight route based on the latest flight information of cooperative airlines and the actual situation of Basrah Airport (combined with port cargo linkage), and select the most efficient transit airports (Dubai, Istanbul, Doha, etc.) to shorten the transit time. We cooperate with airlines with stable schedules to ensure that goods are shipped on time and arrive at Basrah International Airport as scheduled. For urgent goods such as electronic components, medical supplies and petroleum equipment parts, we coordinate with airlines to arrange priority loading and unloading and fast transit procedures, and the shortest transit time can reach 4 days. In case of flight delays, bad weather and other unexpected situations, we will adjust the flight plan in a timely manner and inform customers immediately to minimize the impact on delivery time.

3. Best Services with Professional Support

Our team of air logistics experts has rich experience in the Hong Kong-Basrah route, and is proficient in the air freight rules of Hong Kong and Basrah, customs regulations and commodity inspection requirements, especially familiar with the transportation standards of China's export hot commodities (petroleum equipment, building materials, electronic products) to Basrah. We provide one-stop services from cargo pickup, customs declaration, flight booking to final delivery. Each customer is assigned a dedicated customer service manager who responds to inquiries and solves problems within 24 hours. At the same time, we adopt an automated cargo tracking system to help customers grasp the cargo dynamics in real time and enjoy worry-free logistics services.

4. Comprehensive Support for Made-in-China Goods & Global Cargo

We focus on the transportation of made-in-China goods to Basrah, and have rich experience in handling various commodities exported from China to southern Iraq and the Persian Gulf region, including petroleum equipment and parts, building materials, electronic products, home appliances, textiles, machinery and equipment, medical supplies, agricultural products, daily necessities, etc. According to 2024 Sino-Iraqi trade data, Basrah's imports from China reached 6.4 billion US dollars, with the above commodities accounting for more than 85%. We can provide customized logistics solutions according to the characteristics of different commodities, such as anti-corrosion packaging for petroleum equipment, shockproof packaging for fragile home appliances, moisture-proof packaging for building materials, temperature-controlled transportation for perishables, and dangerous goods transportation that meets international air transport standards (IATA). Our services cover global cargo transportation, and we can provide door-to-door services from Chinese factories (Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and other regions) to Basrah warehouses, port areas and major project sites.

5. Reliable Customs Clearance Guarantee (Basrah Focus)

Customs clearance is a key link in international air freight, especially for Basrah—a core port city with strict customs supervision on petroleum and building materials. We have in-depth cooperation with professional customs clearance agents in Hong Kong and Basrah, and are familiar with Basrah's customs regulations and 2026 latest policy requirements (including free trade zone policies). We will remind customers to prepare all necessary documents in advance and guide customers to correctly classify goods HS codes to avoid customs clearance delays and fines caused by incomplete documents or incorrect classification. For special commodities that require certification (such as petroleum equipment, electronic products and food), we provide professional certification guidance (such as SASO certification, Halal certification, petroleum equipment safety certification) to ensure smooth customs clearance, helping customers save time and cost.

Customs Clearance Notes & Required Documents (Must Read Before Inquiry)

To ensure the smooth customs clearance of goods at Basrah International Airport (and linked port customs) and avoid unnecessary delays and losses, customers must confirm that the destination port can complete customs clearance smoothly before inquiry, and provide the following complete and true documents and information as required (in line with Basrah customs regulations and Sino-Iraqi trade norms):

Required Documents & Information

  • Supplier contact information (phone number, email address, company address)

  • Packing List (detailed list of goods, including commodity name, quantity, weight, volume, packaging method, etc., must be consistent with the invoice information)

  • Proforma Invoice (detailed information of goods value, including unit price, total price, currency, trade terms, payment method, etc., must indicate the country of origin as China)

  • Cargo photos (clear photos of the appearance and details of the goods, which can prove the authenticity of the goods, especially for petroleum equipment)

  • Packaging method (description of the packaging material and packaging form of the goods, especially for fragile goods, building materials and petroleum equipment)

  • Photos after packaging (photos of the goods after final packaging, to confirm the packaging integrity)

  • Genuine MSDS data consistent with the actual goods (for chemical products, dangerous goods, petroleum-related commodities and other commodities that require MSDS certification)

  • Certificate of Origin (Form A is preferred, which can enjoy preferential tariff policies between China and Iraq, especially for Basrah Free Trade Zone)

  • Shipping time (expected departure time and required arrival time)

  • Special requirements (such as temperature control requirements, fragile goods handling requirements, special customs clearance requirements for port-air intermodal transport, etc.)

Basrah Airport & Port Customs Clearance Key Notes

Basrah International Airport and Basrah Port are core customs clearance hubs in southern Iraq, and their customs clearance follows Iraq's national customs law, relevant international trade norms, Sino-Iraqi strategic partnership cooperation agreements and Basrah Free Trade Zone regulations. The key points that need special attention are as follows:

  • Document Consistency: Ensure that the information on the packing list, proforma invoice, air waybill, certificate of origin and product certification documents is completely consistent, and there is no contradiction or error. Basrah customs will strictly check the consistency of documents (especially for petroleum equipment and building materials), and any inconsistency may lead to cargo detention and fines of 10%-20% of the goods value.

  • HS Code Classification: Correctly classify the HS code of goods according to Iraq's customs coding standards (consistent with international coding standards). For petroleum equipment and building materials, Basrah customs has special classification guidelines; incorrect classification may lead to long-term customs clearance delays and heavy fines.

  • Tariff Policy: Provide valid Certificate of Origin (Form A) to enjoy preferential tariffs between China and Iraq. The average tariff rate for industrial products (electronic products, home appliances, machinery parts, etc.) is 5.0%, 12% for agricultural products, and 3% for petroleum equipment and building materials imported for infrastructure projects. Goods entering Basrah Free Trade Zone can enjoy tariff exemption policies with relevant certificates.

  • VAT Payment: The standard VAT rate in Iraq is 15%. For imported goods, VAT must be paid before customs clearance. For goods exported to Basrah Free Trade Zone and goods involved in Sino-Iraqi joint construction projects (such as oilfield development, port expansion), VAT exemption can be applied with relevant certificates issued by Basrah local authorities.

  • Product Certification: Commodities entering Basrah must meet local certification requirements: Electrical and electronic products need SASO certification and Iraqi national quality inspection certificate; Food products need Halal certification and food safety inspection certificate; Medical devices require Iraqi Ministry of Health registration certificate; Building materials need to meet Iraqi southern construction standards and obtain Basrah local quality certification; Petroleum equipment must obtain Iraqi oil industry safety certification and customs special approval documents.

Air Freight Process: From Hong Kong to Basrah

Betterluck Shipping provides a simple and efficient one-stop air freight service process for the Hong Kong-Basrah route, combined with the characteristics of Basrah's port-air intermodal transport and Sino-Iraqi trade. Customers only need to cooperate with the provision of relevant information. The specific process is as follows:

Step 1: Consultation & Quote

Contact us through WeChat, WhatsApp, phone or email, and provide basic information such as cargo volume, commodity name (especially whether it is petroleum equipment, building materials, electronic products, etc.), weight, volume, shipping time and special requirements. Our professional customer service team will provide a detailed quote and air freight plan within 2 hours, including the latest freight factors, customs clearance precautions for Basrah (airport and port), preferential policies for Basrah trade clients and port-air intermodal transport solutions.

Step 2: Confirm Order & Book Cargo Space

After the customer confirms the quote and air freight plan, we sign a formal service contract with the customer. According to the customer's cargo type and delivery time requirements, we book cargo space with the cooperative airline (Iraqi Airways, Emirates Airlines, etc.) in time to ensure that the cargo space is reserved, especially during the peak air freight season (such as before Iraqi New Year, Chinese Spring Festival) and the peak period of Basrah trade (quarterly delivery peak of oilfield equipment and infrastructure projects).

Step 3: Prepare Documents & Cargo Pickup

Customers prepare all required documents according to our reminder (packing list, invoice, certificate of origin, product certification, etc.). We can provide door-to-door cargo pickup service from Chinese factories (including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan and other cities in the Pearl River Delta) to Hong Kong International Airport, or customers can deliver the goods to our designated warehouse in Hong Kong. Our team will check the goods and documents to ensure that they meet the transportation and Basrah customs clearance requirements (especially for special commodities).

Step 4: Customs Declaration & Inspection Declaration

Our customs declaration team (familiar with Hong Kong export customs regulations and Basrah import customs requirements) will complete the export customs declaration and inspection declaration procedures for the goods with the prepared documents. We will strictly check the documents and goods to ensure that the customs declaration is smooth, and confirm that the goods meet the export standards of China and the import requirements of Basrah (especially the certification requirements for petroleum equipment and building materials).

Step 5: Loading & Departure

After the customs clearance is completed, the goods are loaded into the aircraft according to the airline's arrangement. We will inform the customer of the ETD (estimated departure time) in time and provide the air waybill (AWB) number for cargo tracking. At the same time, we will sort out the relevant documents and send them to the customer and the local customs clearance agent in Basrah in advance to lay the foundation for smooth customs clearance at the destination port (airport and linked port).

Step 6: Transit & Cargo Tracking

During the transportation process, we will track the cargo dynamics in real time through the automated tracking system, including transit status, arrival at the transit port, departure from the transit port and estimated arrival time at Basrah Airport. For urgent goods and key Sino-Iraqi trade orders (especially Basrah oilfield and infrastructure projects), our professional customer service team will update the cargo dynamics every 24 hours and timely feedback any unexpected situations (such as flight delays, transit problems) and handling plans to the customer.

Step 7: Arrival & Customs Clearance at Destination Port

When the goods arrive at Basrah International Airport, our cooperative customs clearance agent (with rich experience in Basrah air-port intermodal customs clearance) will complete the import customs clearance procedures for the goods with the prepared documents. We will coordinate with the agent to solve any problems encountered during the customs clearance process, especially for products that require special certification for Basrah's market access (such as petroleum equipment, building materials and electronic products), to ensure that the goods are cleared smoothly and quickly.

Step 8: Delivery & After-Sales Service

After the customs clearance is completed, we can provide inland transportation services from Basrah International Airport to the customer's warehouse, port area, oilfield site or designated location in southern Iraq (such as Umm Qasr, Nasiriyah, Amarah, etc.). After the goods are delivered, we will follow up the customer's satisfaction in a timely manner, collect the customer's feedback and provide after-sales service (such as handling cargo damage claims, solving follow-up logistics problems, coordinating port-air intermodal follow-up matters) to ensure that the customer's needs are fully met.
