Overview
Iraq Verification of Conformity Program (VOC)

Kurdistan COC for new and used vehicles exportation

OVERVIEW

TIC manages various governmental conformity verification programs, all carefully designed to maintain the quality and safety standards specified by the importing country. By implementing these initiatives, we focus on safeguarding consumers and the environment while also enhancing the standing of companies.

We carry out extensive conformity evaluations before goods are shipped, carefully reviewing and verifying the documents, gathering samples for lab testing when required, and inspecting goods physically.

Once the conformity assessment process is complete, we issue the mandatory certificate required by the authorities of the importing country. This certificate of conformity (CoC) guarantees that shipments will not be rejected, allowing importers to smoothly clear their goods through customs.
