Some cargo traffic resumed at Pakistan’s Iran crossings after an October 17 suspension, but traders reported delays linked to paperwork and clearance procedures.

  • Pakistan suspended cargo traffic at the Gabd-Rimdan and Taftan crossings on October 17, citing security risks; some goods began moving again on Monday.
  • Officials said Pakistani exports including rice and bananas were crossing, while trucks loaded in Iran before the closure, including LPG shipments, were entering Pakistan slowly.
  • Iran’s ambassador said changes to Pakistan’s import E-Form procedures were preventing traders from dispatching cargo; the report also described unresolved unloading and clearance delays.
