We ship road-grade bitumen directly from Iraqi refineries to Türkiye and EU countries. The product is packed in reinforced steel drums of 180–200 kg.
Every batch comes with an MSDS safety data sheet and a test protocol from an accredited laboratory. We prepare the full export document package for fast clearance at European customs.
We supply bitumen according to the European road standard EN 12591. Each batch is accompanied by the refinery quality certificate and a certificate of conformity.
Full laboratory test data for both grades according to ASTM test methods. Test certificates are issued for every shipped batch.

Every bitumen batch is tested in an independent laboratory before being filled into drums. Off-spec material is never shipped for export.
We test needle penetration, softening point, ductility and flash point. The buyer receives exact refinery test data for their own volume.
Bitumen is filled into new drums made of 1.0 mm sheet steel. Anti-corrosion coating protects the metal from rust and keeps the product clean during sea transport.
Drums withstand 3-tier stacking in the warehouse and vessel rolling. Beaded seams and sealed lids rule out leaks during port transshipment.
We record the drum condition, palletisation and numbered seals before the goods leave the refinery. The report is sent to the buyer before transport departs.
We arrange delivery from the refinery to your warehouse or port terminal. We work under international Incoterms rules: CIF, FOB, DAP.
We ship bitumen directly from Iraqi producers with no middlemen and no hidden mark-ups.
We select the route for your project: direct truck convoys via Türkiye or containerised sea shipments via Middle East ports.
We prepare export declarations, certificates of origin, packing lists and international CMR and Bill of Lading consignment notes.
We prepare documentation under the REACH regulation. Customs authorities at European ports clear our document package without delays or extra inspections.
We supply road construction projects with bitumen throughout the entire paving season. We agree on a calendar delivery schedule and reserve volumes at storage terminals.
We sign direct contracts with shipment schedules matched to your asphalt paving rate. We keep a product reserve at accumulation warehouses so road machinery on site never stands idle.
Payment terms and payment schedules are discussed per project. For regular customers we keep flexible terms on repeat contracts.
We purchased 1,200 tonnes of 60/70 bitumen for a highway expansion near Izmir. It was critical for us to keep penetration within 60–70 mm/10 due to high laying temperatures. The site laboratory confirmed the batch results matched the refinery certificate exactly. Drum batches arrived by truck, 40 tonnes every three days, and the asphalt plant ran without pauses.
We ordered Iraqi 50/70 bitumen by sea via Constanta. We were worried about EU customs delays over environmental regulations and proof of origin. The supplier's export department sent the full package in advance: REACH, bills of lading, certificates of origin. The customs terminal at the port cleared 40 containers in a day and a half with no inspection penalties.
We ordered a 600-tonne batch with complex multimodal transshipment. Our main worry was drum integrity: if thin-walled packaging is crushed by a crane, bitumen spills straight onto the deck. The drums arrived made of proper sheet steel, rigid, with clean geometry and intact seals. Across three transshipments not a single drum cracked or leaked.
Specify the bitumen grade, required volume and delivery point. Our export engineer will prepare a commercial offer with CIF, FOB or DAP logistics calculation within 24 hours.
