The Authority's President, Hassan Al-Ugaili, told tate-run Iraqi News Agency (INA) that customs revenue increased by 28 percent from 2022 to 2023.

During the first quarter of the current year, the Authority achieved a remarkable 120-percent increase compared to the same period last year, marking the highest quarterly revenue since the establishment of the Customs Authority.
