Turkmenistan’s trade turnover with neighboring countries has surged following the implementation of a Single Window system for export-import operations, according to the State Customs Service.
In the first half of 2024, trade with Iran grew by 35%, Afghanistan increased by 27%, and Uzbekistan posted a 19% growth compared to the same period in 2023.
Marine cargo transportation also grew by 8.2% during this period.
The Customs Service is committed to leveraging digital technologies, modernizing customs posts, and upgrading inspection equipment to further streamline customs procedures and facilitate cross-border trade.
The Single Window system has already significantly enhanced efficiency at customs checkpoints, contributing to the overall growth in cargo movement through Turkmenistan.///nCa, 29 July 2024
