About gold in Iraq
Iraq applies no tax at all on gold, whether jewellery, bullion or traditional gold coins, so displayed prices reflect the international gold rate and Iraqi dinar exchange rate directly, without added duty. Alongside modern jewellery, two historic gold coins remain actively traded in Iraqi markets — the English Lira and the Rashadi Lira — while 21-karat is the most commonly requested purity for everyday jewellery.
Market notes for Iraq
Iraq sharply raised its gold import tariff in early 2026 -- from 250,000 Iraqi dinars per kilogram to as much as 12,000,000 dinars -- under Cabinet Decision No. 957, part of a broader customs overhaul that sparked significant unrest among Iraqi gold merchants.
Buying gold in Iraq
Given how sharply Iraq's gold import tariffs have risen in 2026, a domestically-sold piece is likely to carry a meaningfully higher premium over the international spot price than it would have a year earlier -- factor that into any comparison with KmalServico's live, duty-free reference.
Tax and duty notes for Iraq
Iraq's gold import tariff rose sharply in early 2026 under Cabinet Decision No. 957, from 250,000 Iraqi dinars per kilogram to as much as 12,000,000 dinars, alongside a separate 50,000-dinar test fee on imported jewellery. The change is part of a broader customs overhaul with revised tariff brackets ranging 0.5-30% across categories, and sparked public unrest among Iraqi gold merchants when it took effect.

Methodology
How we calculate the price
- We fetch the international spot gold price (XAU/USD) live from gold-api.com, with automatic failover between providers.
- The spot rate is converted into the local currency using live exchange rates from exchangerate-api.com, then scaled by purity (24K, 22K, 18K…) and by weight (gram, tola, ounce, kilogram, baht).
- The result is the pure spot value. Retail counters may add dealer premium, tax and making charges — the number here is the underlying benchmark.
