Pakistan Issues 2026 Transit Order Allowing Third-Country Goods to Transit to Iran via Land Route

On April 30, the Ministry of Commerce of Pakistan officially issued the '2026 Order on the Transit of Goods through Pakistani Territory,' announcing that from now on, third-country goods are allowed to be transported to Iran via land routes through Pakistani territory. This decree is based on revisions to the 2008 Pakistan-Iran bilateral transport agreement and aims to address the challenges posed by the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz and the maritime trade blockade on Iran. It provides an alternative land transport channel for thousands of containers stranded at ports such as Karachi. The new plan identifies six main land corridors, including routes from Gwadar Port and Karachi Port to Iran's Gabd and Taftan border crossings. Goods will be transported under customs supervision and bank guarantees. This measure is not only an effective response to the current regional logistics crisis but is also considered a significant step in reshaping the geopolitical and supply chain landscape between South Asia and the Middle East.
