No regulations have been found regarding "Late Fee" mail for Iraq or other countries with the exception of Palestine. The regulations as of 1st. October 1925 for Palestine were that "Late Fee" mail could be handed in for posting at post office counters up to 10 minutes after the normal posting tikes on Thursday (in Jerusalem) of 3:45 PM for ordinary mail and 3:30 PM for registered mail. No Late Fee handstamps are known for Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon or Syria.

3 Types of Late Fee handstamps (2 Paid & 1 Unpaid) are known for Iraq, plus a "Too Late" handstamp.
