Iraqi Border Ports Commission

Law No. 30 of 2016 establishes Iraq's Border Ports Body as an Independent public authority linked to the Cabinet. It is also called the Iraqi Border Ports Commission in English. The law gives it legal personality and responsibility for supervising government departments at land, sea and air border ports.

The body coordinates staff from different agencies, sets operating standards and monitors whether each crossing applies Iraqi law. Its remit also covers facilities, security plans and the flow of official work between ministries and provinces. A governing council brings together representatives of national ministries and provincial governments that host border ports. The authority therefore oversees the crossing as a system, while customs, immigration, security and other departments retain their specialist tasks. Arabic sources use both هيأة المنافذ الحدودية and هيئة المنافذ الحدودية for the body.
