HQTS Can Issue Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for Southeast Asian Exporters to Iraq
FUZHOU, China, February 28, 2020 (Newswire.com) - HQTS has been awarded an Iraq Certificate of Conformity (COC) franchise for exporters to Iraq and is one of only four inspection companies authorized by Iraq’s Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (COSQC) to issue this certificate. An Iraq COC is required for over 700 products across 12 categories before they can legally enter the country. This new measure is meant to limit non-compliance, as well as prevent counterfeit or substandard products from entering the country.
An Iraq COC is required for:
- Toys
- Textiles and Footwear
- Electronics
- Auto
- Construction Materials
- Wheels and Accessories
- Cosmetics
- Soaps/Detergents
- Kitchenware
- Chemicals
- Hardware
- Household Gas Appliances
A lucrative opportunity for exporters
Exporters around the world are taking advantage of Iraq’s demand for imported goods. The country imported $45 billion worth of goods in 2018, and this number is expected to grow in the coming years as the country generates wealth from foreign exports and continues its ongoing reconstruction plans. The volume of trade between Iraq and Southeast Asia is increasing steadily; last year, a Vietnamese firm was awarded a large rice exporting contract to Iraq through a direct trade deal.
HQTS is one of only four inspection companies, and the only Asian company, licensed to offer the Iraq COC. With offices across Asia, including one in Baghdad, Iraq, HQTS can help exporters ensure their products reach the Iraqi market safely.
