Pakistan Opens Transit Route

Pakistan allows third-country cargo to move through Gwadar, Karachi and Taftan toward Iran.

Key Takeaways
• Pakistan has introduced the Transit of Goods Order 2026 to allow third-country cargo to pass through Pakistan toward Iran.
• The designated routes include Gwadar, Karachi and Taftan, raising the operational importance of Gwadar Port.
• The move may improve transit trade, boost logistics activity and support Pakistan’s regional connectivity ambitions.


Karachi, Pakistan – Pakistan’s Ministry of Commerce has formally introduced the Transit of Goods Order 2026, creating a new legal framework that allows cargo from third countries to move through Pakistan on its way to Iran, with designated routes passing through Gwadar, Karachi and Taftan. The move is likely to deepen Pakistan’s role as a regional transit corridor and give Gwadar Port a more active commercial function.

According to the official notification, the order lays out multiple land and port-based routes for transit trade, including corridors linked to Gwadar, Karachi and Taftan. The framework is tied to existing Pakistan-Iran trade arrangements and appears designed to streamline the movement of cargo under customs oversight.
The development comes as Pakistan and Iran continue to expand trade connectivity and explore faster overland alternatives for goods movement in the region. Recent reporting also shows that Pakistan has already begun operational steps on the broader transit corridor, with officials highlighting Gwadar, Taftan and other border points as active nodes in the system.
For Pakistan, the order could bring additional transit revenue, greater port activity and stronger logistics traffic through Balochistan and southern shipping routes. It also adds momentum to Gwadar’s long-promised role as a commercial bridge between sea and land trade flows.

This development is economically relevant for Pakistan because it may increase port throughput, customs activity and transit-linked business for logistics operators. It also strengthens Pakistan’s positioning as a regional trade corridor at a time when overland alternatives are gaining attention.
