From Auction to Iraq: Understanding the Shipping Timeline
Clients often ask: “How long will it take?” The answer depends on location, release time, and shipping route. Here is the simplified timeline we use at Sky Auto Trade LLC.
Step 1 — Winning the Auction: Once you win, you’ll receive the invoice and final costs (bid + fees).
Step 2 — Payment & Processing: After payment, the vehicle becomes eligible for release.
Step 3 — Vehicle Release: Some yards release quickly, others take longer. This can impact storage fees.
Step 4 — Inland Transport: The vehicle moves to the port. Distance and availability affect timing.
Step 5 — Port Handling & Loading: Documentation, container booking, and loading onto ship.
Step 6 — Sea Freight: Transit time depends on the route and shipping schedule.
Step 7 — Arrival & Delivery: Final local logistics and delivery support in Iraq.
