Iraq, with its rapidly growing food sector and deep culinary traditions, is one of the leading importers of legumes and pulses in the Middle East. Among them, split peas play a vital role in both household kitchens and large-scale food services. From classic dishes like maraq adas to industrial food production, demand for high-quality split peas continues to rise.

At Tamila Agrifood, we proudly supply premium Iranian split peas to Iraqi importers, wholesalers, and food manufacturers. This guide explains everything you need to know about sourcing bulk split peas, understanding pricing, and navigating Iraq’s import regulations.

Why Iranian Split Peas Are Perfect for the Iraqi Market?

Iran shares a long border and centuries of agricultural trade with Iraq. Iranian split peas are:

•    Grown without GMOs

•    Sun-dried & naturally processed

•    Ideal for Middle Eastern recipes

•    Cost-effective for bulk import

•    Certified Halal & health-inspected

Thanks to low transportation costs, cultural familiarity, and fast customs clearance, Iranian split peas are preferred over other origins like India, Canada, or Australia.

Import Regulations & Customs Duties in Iraq

Importing food items like split peas to Iraq involves a few essential steps:

Required Documents:

•    Commercial invoice

•    Packing list

•    Certificate of origin (Iran)

•    Phytosanitary certificate

•    Lab test results (upon request)

Customs Duties (as of 2025):

•    HS Code: 0713.10

Pro tip: In the Kurdistan region (Erbil/Sulaymaniyah), food imports are often taxed differently than in federal Iraq (Baghdad/Basra). Knowing the entry point can reduce costs.

•    Common borders: Mehran, Parviz Khan, Khosravi, Bashmaq

•    Average transit time: 2–5 days
