According to the guideline, the distance between Gwadar Port and the Gabd border is approximately 87 kilometers, making it the shortest overland route for cargo destined for Iran. Transit trade along this corridor will be carried out in accordance with all applicable legal, documentary, and customs requirements.

The initiative is expected to create new business opportunities for traders, importers, transporters, customs clearing agents, and companies engaged in warehousing and logistics services.
Chairman Noor-ul-Haq Baloch said the initiative aims to boost commercial activity at Gwadar Port, strengthen trade connectivity between Pakistan and Iran, and further position Gwadar as a major regional transit and logistics hub.
