Shafaq News- Duhok
Authorities at the Ibrahim Khalil Border Crossing, Iraq’s
main trade gateway with Turkiye in Duhok province, rejected or destroyed 3,550
tons of imported goods during the first four months of 2026 for violating Iraqi
standards and Kurdistan Regional Government regulations.
Border crossing administration spokesperson Kami Kamal told
Shafaq News on Tuesday that the shipments —including food, agricultural and
veterinary products, construction materials, cosmetics, and other goods— were
denied entry after failing laboratory tests and inspections conducted by
specialized committees at the crossing.
The administration had previously rejected or destroyed more
than 14,000 tons of various materials during 2025.
