About Company

Our Story

Iconic Company started in 2010 but now Iconic is a brand owned by Aykonat Al Khalij, and all businesses are still running the brand Iconic. Strategically aligning with evolving Federal Iraq business regulations, Iconic has operated for over a decade as a trusted, top-tier logistics and transport company in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region (KRI), delivering world-class supply chain and freight forwarding solutions to international and local clients.

With fully operational branches in Erbil and Baghdad, Iconic anchors a robust, seamless logistics network spanning Federal Iraq, the KRI, and key global trade corridors. By combining deep local regulatory expertise with international industry standards, Iconic ensures compliant, efficient, and reliable customs clearance and cargo movement through all major Iraqi gateways.
