Farah Chamber of Commerce & Investment
Resolving the challenges faced by traders and their representatives at the Sheikh Abu Nasr Farahi border crossing has been one of the key areas of focus for the Farah Chamber of Commerce and Investment. Special attention has been given to the border market and the Special Economic Zone. Key issues being addressed include streamlining the process for cargo truck movement, appointing official trader representatives to obtain entry/exit permits to the market, and reducing additional costs such as fines for overnight parking and delays, which have been imposed on traders by Iranian authorities. These matters have been actively pursued by the chamber.
