  • Every reported odometer reading across the vehicle's US life.
  • Lien records and open-finance flags from US banks and credit unions.

Why this matters for Iraq importers

Iraq imported $434 million in US passenger vehicles in 2024 (Source: US Census HS8703 2024). Most flow is indirect: vehicles land in JAFZA (Dubai) first, then move overland or via Umm Qasr port to Baghdad and Erbil dealers.

The dual-hop route amplifies title-history gaps. A car that is US-salvage-branded at the Copart auction may be re-titled in the UAE's Ras Al Khaimah zone, then sold into Iraq as if originally clean. Iraqi customs does not cross-reference NMVTIS, so the original brand is invisible to the Baghdad buyer.

The other Iraq-specific risk is the diesel-sedan flip. Used American diesel sedans (rare in the US — mostly 2010–2015 VW TDI and Mercedes E-class diesels) are highly valued in Iraq and fetch premium prices, which creates strong incentive for dealers to disguise salvage branding. Our report surfaces every US title event, irrespective of what the Ras Al Khaimah paperwork says.

Red flags specific to Iraq

⚠ Ras Al Khaimah / JAFZA re-title without US brand chain
A UAE title under 90 days old with no US history displayed is an almost-certain brand-laundering attempt.
⚠ Diesel TDI priced 30% below Baghdad market
TDI diesel sedans below Baghdad retail almost always have airbag-deploy or flood events in the US history.
⚠ Odometer under 50,000 km on a 2015 car
A 10-year-old sedan showing fewer than 50,000 km is almost always rolled back. Check US-side reported readings in our report.
⚠ "Export only" title issued in the same state as the accident
If a salvage state (FL, LA) issues an "export only" title within 60 days of the accident, the accident is almost certainly undisclosed.

FAQ — importing US cars to Iraq

No. Iraqi customs accepts the most recent title presented — usually a UAE re-title if the car routed through JAFZA. You must verify the US-side yourself before purchase.

We cover the US-side VIN history only. Umm Qasr customs clearance is downstream. Run the VIN before the car ships to Iraq.

The site and checkout are in Arabic. The report body is English because US title-brand codes are English-only.

Doesn't matter — we query NMVTIS, Copart and IAAI by VIN, regardless of the intermediate country's paperwork.

For US-side history, yes. For post-import engine condition, you'll want a local mechanic's inspection in addition.

Stripe supports most Iraqi-issued cards. Crypto (BTC, USDT) is supported globally.

NMVTIS is updated monthly, Copart/IAAI daily. Reports purchased today reflect all records as of the last 24 hours.

No — US-side only. Iraqi MVA records are not included.
