[Report quoted] Iraq's Ministry of Trade announced that it has completed a new set of automobile import management measures and submitted them to the Cabinet for review, which will be implemented immediately after approval. Spokesperson Mohammed Hanoun told the Morning Post that this is part of a broader government plan to control the number of vehicles entering the country against the backdrop of urban traffic pressure, while also improving transportation organization through roads and bridges.

The Ministry of Trade said that the new regulations are not just "**", but also emphasize "quality restriction". Over the past few years, the focus on quantity has led to the entry of a large number of models that are not suitable for Iraq's climate and road conditions, or do not meet safety and environmental standards, further exacerbating congestion and operation and maintenance burdens. This draft clearly states that it is necessary to recalibrate the types of vehicles, technical specifications and qualified import entities allowed to be imported, and systematically sort out existing processes.

To this end, the government has established a cross-departmental thematic committee, whose members include the General Transportation Police Department, as well as the departments of construction and housing, public utilities and municipal services, transportation, environment, petroleum and planning. The Economic Committee of the Ministry of Trade has reviewed and approved the draft, and is now waiting for the final decision of the Ministerial Meeting. Officials expect that the implementation of the regulations will help improve road traffic efficiency, reduce traffic accidents and environmental loads, and align the import process with national infrastructure and transportation governance goals.

Brief comment: Thenew regulations are likely to change the basics of "who can import, what can import, and what standards can be verified." The details that have not yet been announced should not be speculated, but the direction is clear: vehicle technical and environmental compliance will be advanced, the qualifications of import entities will be stricter, and the low threshold window for winning by quantity will be narrowed. In terms of vehicle selection, priority should be given to mainstream domestic and light commercial configurations that are resistant to high temperatures, resistant to dust, and have reliable braking and cooling capabilities. Conformity certificates and test reports should be prepared in advance to shorten the inspection and registration time after landing.
