LHZ-TIR Khorgos to Iraq Vehicle Carrier Route – 3,300 Chang'an Sedans Set the Largest Single Export Record from Khorgos Port to Iraq

The LHZ-TIR China to Iraq vehicle carrier route completed a landmark project of 3,300 Chang'an sedans exported to Iraq, setting the largest single vehicle export record from Xinjiang's Khorgos Port to Iraq. The vehicles were consolidated at Khorgos Port and transported by 300 Kazakhstan-plated specialized car-carrier trailers, reaching Baghdad and Basra in 15 to 18 days, with Iraq import customs clearance included.

LHZ-TIR is the core logistics brand under LHZ Global Holding Group, operating 1,500 owned and partnered TIR vehicles distributed across six key nodes in China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, and Germany, all with local registration. Among them, 300 are Kazakhstan-plated specialized car-carrier trailers, each capable of loading 8 passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, or new energy vehicles, equipped with professional securing systems and protective measures to ensure the safety of vehicles throughout transport.

The Khorgos consolidation center served as the strategic hub for this large-scale transport project, handling nationwide vehicle consolidation, customs declaration, and reloading in one stop. The Iraq route operations team possesses over a decade of mature operational experience, proficient in TIR documentation, customs coordination, and complete vehicle export customs declaration. The 100,000-square-meter self-operated supervised warehouse ensures efficient vehicle consolidation and loading for outbound transport.

The main route departs from Khorgos or Alashankou ports, traversing Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, entering Iran and crossing its western border into Iraq, with a transit time of 15 to 18 days. TIR operates under a one-declaration, one-document-to-the-end, one-vehicle-direct-to-destination customs clearance model, with customs authorities along the route granting expedited clearance based on seal inspections. Iraq is a core OPEC member with the world's fifth-largest proven oil reserves, with post-war reconstruction continuing to drive import demand in infrastructure, energy, and power sectors. On April 1, 2025, Iraq's TIR system was officially activated, making Iraq the 66th TIR-operating country globally, with the Iraqi State Company for Land Transport serving as the TIR Carnet issuing and guaranteeing body, with a maximum guarantee of 100,000 euros per Carnet.
