Wholesale used engines to Iraq
A strong market for large-displacement petrol, served only after compliance review. We run that review before we quote, not after you have paid.
Wholesale onlyRegular orders are one full container — 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, or with gearboxes 45 + 45 / 65 + 65. New customers can make their first purchase from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (LCL freight quoted separately): first-order offer. A second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price. We do not sell single units.

| Discharge ports | Umm Qasr, or overland via a GCC port |
| Indicative sea transit | From Nansha or Shekou, about 25 to 35 days to Umm Qasr. A band, not a promise: direct services sit at the low end and transhipment at the high end, and your forwarder confirms the actual schedule at booking |
| Container configurations | 20-ft: 90 engines, or 45 engines + 45 gearboxes · 40-ft: 130 engines, or 65 engines + 65 gearboxes |
| Minimum order | One full container in one of those four commercial configurations, with the mix of models chosen by you — or, on a new customer’s first purchase only, from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping available, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (first-order offer). Never single units. Used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition), in the mixed loads or a first order. Each load's weight and dimensions are checked when it is prepared |

Nearby lanes we also load for: United Arab Emirates · Saudi Arabia. Buyers who re-export across a border should say so at enquiry — the mix and the documents differ.
Import rules: the status of used engine imports in Iraq, with the official source, is in our import rules atlas; the global market report puts this lane in context.
Why the parc suits our stock
The Iraqi vehicle parc leans heavily on the same large-displacement Toyota and Nissan platforms that dominate the Gulf: Land Cruiser, Hilux, Altima. Those engines are expensive new and scarce used, which is exactly the gap a graded container fills.
Demand is real and sustained. The constraint on this lane has never been demand — it is documentation and screening.
Compliance comes first here
We screen this lane before quotation: end buyer, destination, route and payment channel. If something does not clear, we say so rather than quoting and withdrawing later.
This is not bureaucracy for its own sake. A container that gets stopped costs you more than the engines in it, and it costs us a customer.
Documentation
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading under HS 8407 and 8408, prepared for the actual route rather than generically. Requirements differ substantially between direct discharge and overland entry — tell us which you are using.
Published prices for this lane
Per unit, FOB Guangzhou, every engine Grade A. These are the models that actually move to Iraq — you can mix them freely inside one container, and the full seventeen-model catalogue is open to you as well.

An engines-only container is 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, whatever the mix of models. At the prices above, an engines-only 20-ft load to Iraq runs from USD 27,000 (all HR16DE) to USD 46,800 (all 2AZ-FE) FOB, and an engines-only 40-ft from USD 39,000 to USD 67,600. The mixed configurations — 45 engines + 45 gearboxes in a 20-ft, 65 + 65 in a 40-ft — are priced separately; used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition). Sea freight to Umm Qasr, or overland via a GCC port is quoted separately. Most containers are a mix, so your figure sits between the two: build the exact mix in the quoter and the total reaches your inbox the same minute.

Frequently asked
How much does a container of used engines to Iraq cost?
An engines-only 20-ft container of 90 Grade A engines runs from USD 27,000 for an all-HR16DE load to USD 46,800 for all 2AZ-FE, FOB Guangzhou at our published per-unit prices; an engines-only 40-ft of 130 engines runs from USD 39,000 to USD 67,600. Mixed loads of 45 engines + 45 gearboxes or 65 + 65 are priced separately. Sea freight to Umm Qasr, or overland via a GCC port is quoted separately for the lane. Most buyers order a mix, so the real figure sits between those two — the online quoter prices your exact mix in one minute and emails the total.
What is the minimum order for Iraq?
Regular orders are one full container, in one of four commercial configurations: 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft; or, with gearboxes, 45 engines + 45 gearboxes in a 20-ft or 65 + 65 in a 40-ft. You choose the mix of models. The exception is a new customer’s first purchase, which can start from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping available, at list price per unit, with no first-order surcharge, and LCL sea freight from Guangzhou quoted separately; whether we can ship to Iraq on those terms is confirmed in the quotation. Your second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price, shipped LCL or in a shared 20-ft container; from then on, full containers at list price. Used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition). We do not sell single units; other ratios are a commercial enquiry for sales.
How long does shipping used engines from China to Iraq take?
Sea transit from Nansha or Shekou runs about 25 to 35 days to Umm Qasr, with direct services at the low end of that band and transhipment routings at the high end; the schedule, route and freight are confirmed when the booking is made, so treat the band as indicative. Before that clock starts, the order moves through two payments of the agreed order total: a 30 per cent deposit starts order preparation and arranges the shipping booking, the engines are checked and documented with supervised video and individual photos, and the 70 per cent balance is settled before shipment. From the deposit onward you get a milestone update at least every five days.
Do you ship used engines to Iraq?
Yes, after a compliance review that we run before quoting rather than after payment: end buyer, destination, route and payment channel. If something does not clear, we say so at that point. A container that gets stopped costs you more than the engines inside it.
Which route works better — Umm Qasr or overland via the Gulf?
Both work, and the documentation is not the same for each, so tell us which you use before we prepare papers. Direct discharge at Umm Qasr and overland entry through a GCC port carry different requirements; documents prepared generically are what get containers held.
Which engine models suit the Iraqi parc?
Large-displacement petrol: 2TR-FE and 1GR-FE for the Hilux, Prado and Land Cruiser fleet, QR25DE for the Nissan side, with 4JB1 diesel for light commercial. These are expensive new and scarce used, which is exactly the gap a graded container fills.
