Steel Rebar Export to Iraq
B500B reinforcing steel to EN 10080 — supplied from Germany with full Mill Test Certificates, Certificate of Origin and seaworthy packing for delivery via Umm Qasr port. Technically comparable to IQS / BS 4449 grade requirements.
Rebar Iraq: Market Context and Procurement Drivers
Iraq’s construction sector has sustained significant demand for reinforcing steel across infrastructure rehabilitation, housing programmes, and large-scale public works. International contractors and procurement offices frequently seek verified, standards-compliant rebar with reliable documentation when sourcing from outside the region. German-origin B500B to EN 10080 answers that need precisely — offering traceable metallurgical documentation and consistent mechanical properties.
The Iraqi Standards Organisation (COSQC) references BS 4449 as the primary reinforcing-steel benchmark. B500B produced to EN 10080 and DIN 488 is technically comparable to BS 4449 grade B500B in terms of minimum yield strength (500 MPa), ductility class (high ductility, k ≥ 1.08, Agt ≥ 5.0%) and ribbing geometry requirements. We supply to EN 10080 specifications and provide all relevant documentation; buyers are responsible for confirming local acceptance and project-specific approval with their engineer of record. We do not claim formal COSQC or Iraqi national approval.
Product Range Available for Export to Iraq
We supply the following reinforcing steel products for shipment to Iraq:
- B500B deformed bars — diameters 8–40 mm, standard lengths 6 m and 12 m (other lengths available on request), hot-rolled, high ductility to EN 10080.
- B500A / B500B coils — diameters 6–16 mm, for on-site or plant straightening and cutting.
- Reinforcing steel mesh — standard panels and bespoke sizes to DIN 488-4.
- Cut-and-bend rebar — processed to project shape codes, reducing site waste and labour.
- Mechanical couplers — parallel-thread and taper-thread types, diameters 12–40 mm.
Weight and Section Reference — B500B Bars
| Diameter (mm) | Weight (kg/m) | Cross-section (mm²) |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 0.395 | 50.3 |
| 10 | 0.617 | 78.5 |
| 12 | 0.888 | 113 |
| 16 | 1.58 | 201 |
| 20 | 2.47 | 314 |
| 25 | 3.85 | 491 |
| 32 | 6.31 | 804 |
| 40 | 9.86 | 1257 |
Formula: kg/m = d²(mm) × 0.00617. Cross-section = π/4 · d².
Shipping & Logistics to Umm Qasr
Flexible container and break-bulk options for Iraqi ports.
Container Shipments
Straight bars (up to 12 m) are typically shipped in 20 ft or 40 ft open-top or flat-rack containers. Bundles are strapped and corner-protected for transit. Standard HS code for rebar: 7214 20 00 / 7213 10 00 for coils.
Break-Bulk Options
For larger tonnage orders, break-bulk shipment via Umm Qasr general cargo terminal is viable. Seaworthy bundles of approximately 2 tonnes are prepared with moisture-resistant wrapping and steel banding.
Port of Entry
Umm Qasr is Iraq’s principal deep-water commercial port and the primary entry point for imported construction steel. Logistics routing can be coordinated with your nominated freight forwarder or we can refer established partners.
Delivery details →Export Documentation Package
Every shipment of rebar Iraq buyers receive is accompanied by a complete export documentation package. The standard set includes:
- Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1) — heat-specific chemical composition and mechanical test results, traceable to the production cast.
- Certificate of Origin — issued by a recognised German chamber of commerce, confirming German or EU origin.
- Packing List — itemised bundle weights, dimensions, and bar count per bundle.
- Commercial Invoice — in the buyer’s required currency and format.
- Bill of Lading / Sea Waybill — issued by the nominated shipping line.
Additional documents such as fumigation certificates, phytosanitary equivalents for packing materials, or specific Iraqi customs declarations can be coordinated on request. Learn about our certification approach →
