Shipping from China to Iraq via Aqaba Port: The Reliable Alternative Route

2026-08-13

With ongoing disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, Iraqi businesses importing from China are increasingly turning to Aqaba Port in Jordan as a safe, reliable alternative route. This corridor combines ocean freight to Aqaba with overland trucking into Iraq, helping importers avoid delays and keep supply chains moving without relying on the Hormuz chokepoint. Almas Group, an Iraqi freight forwarding company, manages this entire journey as one coordinated service, from freight booking and port clearance in Aqaba to overland transport, customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery across Iraq. Businesses looking for a dependable way to keep their China imports moving are welcome to contact Almas Group to discuss their shipment.
