An important meeting was held at the Directorate of Transit Trade Headquarters, Customs House Karachi, chaired by the Director General (DG) Afghan Transit Trade, with participation from the Directors of Afghan Transit Quetta and Peshawar via Zoom.
Following the meeting, Customs General Order 98.2025 was issued, announcing that the transportation of Afghan Transit Trade has been suspended indefinitely due to a lack of storage capacity at the Quetta and Peshawar customs stations, which are already overcrowded with containers.
The order instructed all terminals to offload containers already loaded on vehicles and cancel all gate passes related to Afghan transit shipments. The suspension will remain in place until further notice.
As a result of the directive, all terminals at Karachi Port and Port Qasim have stopped clearing Afghan transit trade containers.
According to customs sources, long queues of containers have formed at the South Asia Pakistan Terminal (SAPT), with hundreds of containers on trucks waiting for clearance. Many other shipments remain stuck on the way to Quetta and Peshawar, where drivers await the reopening of border operations.
