What Is Transit Cargo and How Does It Work?

What Is Transit Cargo and How Does It Work?

Transit transportation is the process of delivering cargo departing from one country, such as Germany or China, to a third country, such as Iraq, by passing through another country, such as Turkey. In this process, the cargo does not enter the Turkish domestic market; it only passes through bonded areas under customs control.

Taha Group takes over your cargo arriving especially at Mersin, Iskenderun and Istanbul ports or airports. After completing the necessary T1 and transit declaration procedures, we deliver your cargo to the final consignee in Iraq with our Road Transportation fleet.

Why Choose Taha Group for Iraq Transit Transportation?

Transit processes are operations where mistakes are not acceptable and regulatory knowledge is critical. An incorrect document process may cause the cargo to wait at customs for days.

Port and Bonded Warehouse Expertise:
When your cargo arrives in Turkey, it is safely stored in our contracted bonded warehouses within the scope of Storage Services or transferred directly to vehicles.

Wide Service Network:
According to the volume of your cargo, we ship it either with FTL Transportation for full truckload needs or with Partial Cargo options for smaller shipments, providing cost advantages.

Strong Guarantee Infrastructure:
With our comprehensive guarantee infrastructure required for transit transportation, we complete customs passages quickly without unnecessary waiting.

Special Solutions for Different Cargo Types

We undertake the logistics of all types of materials needed in Iraq’s reconstruction process. We are by your side not only for standard palletized cargo but also for operations requiring expertise:

Project Transportation:
We manage the transit passage of heavy-tonnage and oversized machinery arriving for construction sites, factories or power plants in Iraq by carrying out route analyses.

Fair Transportation:
We deliver exhibition products of companies participating in fairs in Iraq from different parts of the world directly to their stands on time.

Combined Transportation:
According to the urgency of the cargo, we provide multimodal solutions such as bringing the shipment to Turkey by Air Cargo and then continuing to Iraq by road. Likewise, we accelerate the process by transferring containers arriving at ports by Sea Freight to trucks.

Taha Group ensures the uninterrupted flow of your transit trade with its strong agency network on the Turkey-Iraq route and operational competence at the Habur Border Gate. No matter where your cargo comes from, our route is always safe delivery.
