1. Visit https://www.ia-cargo.com/ and navigate to the cargo tracking feature. 2. Enter your AWB number in the format 073-XXXXXXXX where the last digit is a check digit calculated as mod-7 (example: 073-12345675). 3. Monitor your shipment's real-time status updates including location and estimated delivery times. 4. If status has not updated after 24 hours, contact Iraqi Airways cargo customer service through reservation@ia-cargo.com.

The AWB prefix 073 uniquely identifies Iraqi Airways as the issuing carrier and ensures the shipment is routed through their cargo network. The following 7-digit serial number is the unique identifier for your specific shipment. The final digit is a check digit calculated by dividing the 7-digit serial number by 7 and using only the remainder (mod-7). For example, if the serial is 1234567, dividing by 7 gives remainder 6, making the complete AWB 073-12345676. This prefix system allows freight forwarders and airports worldwide to identify that Iraqi Airways is responsible for handling and tracking your cargo shipment.

Iraqi Airways transports live animals under the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR), which govern container, ventilation, and species-specific handling requirements for livestock, day-old chicks, zoo animals, household pets, and laboratory animals. Bookings require species-specific documentation and approved containers; book through the cargo team with at least 48 hours notice.
