Established Experience with Direct Local Execution

Maaber Shatt Al Arab is a long-established Iraqi customs clearance and logistics company with offices in Basra and Umm Qasr. Our core expertise is customs clearance at Umm Qasr and across Iraq’s border crossings.

With 12 dedicated customs clearance staff in Umm Qasr, we carry out clearance directly through our own team rather than assigning it to other clearance companies. This gives our customers a clear point of responsibility for their shipments.

Serving Institutions and Major Businesses

We work with ministries, embassies, factories and major companies in Iraq and the wider Middle East. Our team supports shipments that depend on careful preparation, practical coordination and consistent follow-up.

Our transit history includes clearing 24 containers through Umm Qasr for onward movement to CIS countries. We continue to provide transit services through Iraq’s ports and border crossings to international destinations.

Beyond Customs Clearance

Our sea, road and air freight services extend our clearance expertise into complete logistics arrangements. From collecting goods at an international supplier to delivering them in Iraq, we coordinate the stages required for the agreed shipment scope.

Our Approach

We take direct responsibility for our clearance work, communicate shipment requirements clearly and plan transport around the customer’s cargo and destination. Our aim is to make the process easier to manage through local execution and a single operational contact.

A Message from Our CEO

Customs clearance takes more than an office and a promise. It takes people on the ground, doing the work.

At Maaber Shatt Al Arab, our own team works directly in Umm Qasr. We take responsibility for your shipment, follow every stage closely and treat your cargo as our own—because we are the people handling it.

Our hands-on approach helps us offer competitive prices and resolve issues where they arise. When you choose us, you support the team whose hard work moves your cargo forward.

Trust your cargo to the people doing the work.
