Core Service: From Hong Kong to Erbil 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 Middle East and Iraqi regions, as it can quickly connect to major cities in the Pearl River Delta and global destinations. Erbil International Airport (EBL) is the largest airport in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and a key air cargo hub in northern Iraq, serving as the core air transport gateway for the KRG region. It radiates markets with a consumer group of more than 20 million people and plays a vital role in Iraq's foreign trade and post-war reconstruction. As China and Iraq have maintained stable strategic cooperative relations for many years, bilateral trade volume reached 52.0 billion US dollars in 2024, with China's exports accounting for over 60% of the total trade volume. Erbil, as the economic and trade center of the Kurdistan Region and a key post-war reconstruction hub, accounts for more than 30% of Iraq's total imports, creating a broad market space for air freight services between Hong Kong and Erbil.
Targeting the Hong Kong-Erbil 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, construction materials, electronic products, precision industrial machinery) 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 construction materials, electronic products, medical supplies and industrial machinery to Erbil will remain strong, driven by Iraq's post-war reconstruction projects (road and bridge renovation, housing construction, medical facility upgrading), urban infrastructure improvement and people's livelihood supply. 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 Erbil market opportunity.

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 Erbil's reconstruction 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-Erbil air freight business:
1. Cheapest Prices with Transparent Charging
Relying on long-term strategic cooperation with top airlines (Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, etc.) and large air cargo volume on the Hong Kong-Erbil route (annual cargo volume exceeds 6,000 tons for Chinese export goods to Erbil), we obtain first-hand preferential freight rates, which are 15%-28% lower than the market average for Erbil trade clients. In response to the 2026 market characteristic of "stable freight rates with seasonal fluctuations", we optimize cost control through systematic management and in-depth cooperation with local logistics partners in Erbil (including airport logistics, inland distribution and Erbil Free Zone services), 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 operation situation of Erbil International Airport, and give priority to high-efficiency transit combinations to shorten the transit time. We cooperate with airlines with stable schedules (Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways) to ensure that goods are shipped on time and arrive at Erbil International Airport as scheduled. For urgent goods such as medical supplies, electronic components and emergency reconstruction materials, we coordinate with airlines to arrange priority loading and unloading and fast transit procedures, and the shortest transit time can reach 5 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-Erbil route, and is proficient in the air freight rules of Hong Kong and Erbil, customs regulations and commodity inspection requirements, especially familiar with the transportation standards of China's export hot commodities (construction materials, electronic products, medical supplies) to Erbil. We provide one-stop services from cargo pickup, customs declaration, flight booking to final delivery.

We focus on the transportation of made-in-China goods to Erbil, and have rich experience in handling various commodities exported from China to Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, including construction materials, electronic products, home appliances, textiles, machinery and equipment, medical supplies, furniture, daily necessities, etc. According to 2024 Sino-Iraqi trade data, Erbil's imports from China reached 12.6 billion US dollars, with the above commodities accounting for more than 95%. We can provide customized logistics solutions according to the characteristics of different commodities, such as shockproof packaging for fragile home appliances, moisture-proof packaging for construction materials, temperature-controlled transportation for perishables, and dangerous goods transportation that meets international air transport standards (IATA).

5. Reliable Customs Clearance Guarantee (Erbil Focus)
Customs clearance is a key link in international air freight, especially for Erbil—a core reconstruction and trade city with standardized customs supervision in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We have in-depth cooperation with professional customs clearance agents in Hong Kong and Erbil, and are familiar with Erbil's customs regulations and 2026 latest policy requirements (including Erbil Free Zone preferential policies and ICAR certification mandatory requirements). 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 electronic products, medical supplies and food), we provide professional certification guidance (such as ICAR certification, Halal certification) to ensure smooth customs clearance, helping customers save time and cost.
Customs Clearance Notes & Required Documents (Must Read Before Inquiry)

Erbil Airport & Free Trade Zone Customs Clearance Key Notes
Erbil International Airport and Erbil Free Zone are core customs clearance hubs of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and their customs clearance follows Iraq's national customs law, Kurdistan Regional Government regulations, relevant international trade norms and China-Iraq strategic partnership cooperation agreements. Erbil customs is known for its standardization and efficiency in reconstruction-related cargo clearance, and 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. Erbil customs will strictly check the consistency of documents (especially for construction materials, medical supplies and electronic products), and any inconsistency may lead to cargo detention and fines of 10%-25% 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 construction materials, medical supplies and electronic products, Erbil customs has special classification guidelines for reconstruction needs; 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%, 15% for agricultural products, and 3% for construction materials and medical supplies imported for post-war reconstruction projects. Goods entering Erbil Free Zone can enjoy tariff exemption policies with relevant certificates, and customs duties will be levied only when the goods are transferred out of the free zone.
VAT Payment: The standard VAT rate in Iraq (Kurdistan Region) is 10%. For imported goods, VAT must be paid before customs clearance. For goods entering free trade zones, VAT payment can be deferred until the goods are transferred out of the free trade zone. For goods involved in China-Iraq joint reconstruction projects, VAT exemption can be applied with relevant certificates issued by the Kurdistan Regional Government.
Product Certification: Commodities entering Erbil must meet local and Iraqi national certification requirements: Electrical and electronic products need ICAR 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 and import approval document; Building materials need to meet Iraqi construction standards and obtain reconstruction project qualification certificate; Daily necessities need to provide quality inspection reports in line with regional regulations.
Air Freight Process: From Hong Kong to Erbil
Betterluck Shipping provides a simple and efficient one-stop air freight service process for the Hong Kong-Erbil route, combined with the characteristics of Erbil's logistics market and Sino-Iraqi trade (post-war reconstruction focus). 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 construction materials, electronic products, medical supplies, etc.), weight, volume, shipping time and special requirements (such as emergency delivery for reconstruction projects). 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 Erbil (airport and free trade zone), preferential policies for Erbil trade clients and inland distribution 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 (especially emergency reconstruction materials), we book cargo space with the cooperative airline (Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, etc.) in time to ensure that the cargo space is reserved, especially during the peak air freight season (such as Erbil's reconstruction peak seasons, Ramadan, Chinese Spring Festival) and the peak period of emergency material transportation.
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 Erbil customs clearance requirements (especially for reconstruction materials and medical supplies).
Step 4: Customs Declaration & Inspection Declaration
Our customs declaration team (familiar with Hong Kong export customs regulations and Erbil 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 Erbil (especially the certification requirements for reconstruction materials and medical supplies).
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 Erbil in advance to lay the foundation for smooth customs clearance at the destination port (airport and free trade zone).
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 (for transit flights), arrival at the transit port, departure from the transit port and estimated arrival time at Erbil Airport. For urgent goods and key Sino-Iraqi trade orders (especially Erbil post-war reconstruction and medical emergency 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 Erbil International Airport, our cooperative customs clearance agent (with rich experience in Erbil customs clearance and free trade zone services, especially in reconstruction cargo 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 Erbil's market access (such as construction materials, medical supplies 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 Erbil International Airport to the customer's warehouse, free trade zone, reconstruction project site, medical institution or designated location in the Kurdistan Region (such as Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk, 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 free trade zone related matters, and providing emergency logistics support for reconstruction projects) to ensure that the customer's needs are fully met.
