The transit corridor between Pakistan and Iran has officially commenced as the first export shipment departed for Tashkent.
An inauguration ceremony was held at the TIR terminal in Karachi, marking the formal start of a new land-based trade route under the TIR (Transports Internationaux Routiers) system. This corridor provides an efficient alternative route for regional trade.
Pakistan Customs stated that the corridor will boost trade activities and significantly reduce transportation times, marking a vital milestone in the promotion of regional business coordination.
The first shipment, consisting of frozen meat, is being transported to Tashkent in refrigerated trucks.
The convoy will enter Iran via the Gabd-Reemdan border before traveling through to Central Asia.
Customs officials noted that procedures have been streamlined at new border crossing points to ensure efficiency. Additionally, TIR transit operations have been activated at Taftan, Reemdan, Sost, and Gwadar.
