Erbil is the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It is also where MCK Logistics has its headquarters. When you ship to Erbil with us, the team coordinating your freight works in the same city where the goods are delivered.
Why an Erbil shipment needs a joined-up plan
The main commercial road crossing between Türkiye and northern Iraq is Habur on the Turkish side and Ibrahim Khalil on the Iraqi side, in the Zakho district of Duhok governorate. A load bound for Erbil involves several linked stages: loading in Türkiye, the border crossing, customs formalities and the final drop in the city. If one stage slips, the others feel it.
So the real job is not just finding a truck. It is running those stages as one plan. Document and regulatory requirements can vary with the type of cargo, so we recommend confirming the current requirements with our team before you ship.

- Planning and route management: Freight organisation, route management and delivery coordination are handled by our operations team.
