Importing goods into Iraq can be challenging for the unfamiliar – differing customs in federal Iraq and the KRI (Kurdistan Region), security checkpoints, etc. Our team has years of experience importing goods (including sensitive electronics and collectibles) and ensuring they clear customs smoothly. We have warehouse facilities and a distribution fleet ready. We also navigate currency and banking nuances (since international transactions with Iraq require know-how due to sanctions compliance). In short, we make sure your product gets from factory to Iraqi store shelf efficiently and safely.
Import/Logistics Expertise
We are a fully registered Iraqi company, licensed for general trading. That means any partnership or distribution agreement with us is legally recognized in-country – a crucial factor in a place where doing business can be complex. We handle the red tape so you don’t have to.
Local Legitimacy & Licensing
We understand Iraqi consumers – their preferences, language needs, and buying patterns – in a way that foreign companies entering alone would take years to grasp. For example, we know which cities have a higher English-speaking customer base (good for complex games in English) and which need Arabic translated editions; we know that a game with certain themes might need tweaking for conservative towns, or which social media channels reach Basra teens versus Erbil teens. We tailor the approach for maximum resonance.
Market Knowledge
Partnerships
We welcome partnerships with global toy companies and board game publishers to bring exclusive product lines to Iraq. For example, a deal with a puzzle manufacturer to introduce STEM puzzles to schools, or with a popular board game like Catan or Ticket to Ride for localized editions. We can offer exclusivity and guaranteed volumes once the market proves itself. Considering the Iraqi toy market’s rapid growth (23% surge last year), manufacturers can tap into an accelerating revenue stream by partnering with us early.
Toy & Game Manufacturers

We are open to collaborations with existing Iraqi retailers – be it toy store chains, bookstores, or even cafes – to establish store-in-store concepts or franchised hobby shops. If you’re a business owner in Iraq interested in the gaming/toy space, we’d love to chat. Our partnership model could include supplying inventory, training staff, and co-branding, while you provide the retail space and day-to-day management. This can rapidly expand our reach beyond what we can directly operate, and it gives partners a new product line and foot traffic driver. (Imagine a popular Baghdad bookstore that suddenly has a buzzing board game section with weekly events – new customers will come in regularly, boosting overall sales.) We provide the curation and international sourcing; you provide local market presence – together, we grow the pie.

If you are an international publisher of a game, a toy line, or a pop-culture IP (intellectual property) and you’re looking to enter Iraq, Majestic Heights is your ideal local ally. We offer local market intelligence (we’ll advise what themes or approaches work best with Iraqi audiences), regulatory guidance (we ensure your products meet any local content regulations or labeling requirements), and a launch platform complete with PR and community hype. We can also help with Arabic localization if needed – from translating rulebooks to dubbing toy commercials. Essentially, we de-risk your market entry. Iraq’s consumer base is large and largely untapped – with our help, you can be one of the first movers capturing hearts and wallets here.
International Publishers & IP Owners

We plan to host Iraq’s first major gaming conventions and tournaments. For these, we seek sponsors and partners. This could be a regional telecom company wanting to sponsor an e-sports or TCG tournament (thus aligning their brand with youth culture), or a food/beverage company that wants product placement at our events (imagine a soda brand sponsoring “Game Night Baghdad” and offering samples). For international entities, consider sponsoring a series of events (e.g., a “Hasbro Family Game Night” roadshow across Iraqi cities to promote family board games – great CSR and marketing in one). Sponsors gain brand visibility and goodwill as enablers of a positive community activity, while we gain support to make the events bigger and better. Given that elsewhere in the Middle East, gaming events draw thousands (Dubai’s Middle East Film & Comic Con, Saudi’s Gamers8 festival, etc.), we anticipate strong turnout in Iraq once we start – making sponsorship here a high-impact opportunity.

Join Us in Leveling Up Iraq’s Game
We ensure that your product or brand enters Iraq on the right note. This might include localizing content (translating game components into Arabic/Kurdish), adjusting marketing imagery to be culturally appropriate, and timing releases around local holidays and seasons. For example, we know Ramadan evenings are actually a great time for family games, so we might suggest a special Ramadan promo pack of games for families. These nuanced adjustments can make or break a product in a new market – we’ve got you covered.
Cultural Sensitivity & Adaptation
Through Al Abraj Al Shamika and our own contacts, we have connections to Iraq’s retail networks (toy stores, book shops, supermarkets), media outlets (we can get coverage on Iraqi TV morning shows or in newspapers to promote a new product launch), and even influencers (yes, Iraq has gaming YouTubers!). When you partner with us, you tap into this network. For instance, we could coordinate a nationwide “launch day” for a new toy – simultaneously in Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra – with local celebs or influencers at each event to draw crowds. This level of coordination is something only a local partner with national reach can achieve.
Network & Reach
Finally, perhaps the biggest reason – we truly care about this mission. We’re not just looking to make a quick buck; we’re in it to develop a sustainable, thriving ecosystem. When you partner with Majestic Heights, you get a team that will go the extra mile. We’ll demo your game in 50°C Basra summer heat if we have to, or translate an entire rulebook overnight. Because we believe in what we’re building. Our passion will translate into brand loyalty for your products among Iraqi customers.
