The State Customs Service of Turkmenistan is consistently working to increase the throughput capacity of border customs posts and improve the quality of customs services. At this stage, construction has begun on the reconstruction of the ‘Artyk’ and ‘Sarahs avtoyollary’ customs posts located on the Turkmen-Iranian border.
Construction work will be carried out by the private enterprise ‘Ojar Asia’ in 2025–2026. During construction, it is planned to completely reconstruct the existing customs checkpoint buildings, as well as widely implement digital systems and automate customs procedures.
As a result of these projects, conditions will be created for a significant reduction in the time spent on customs clearance of vehicles engaged in international cargo transportation at customs points and an increase in transit cargo. Thus, the throughput capacity of customs posts will be further increased.
‘Artyk’ and ‘Sarahs avtoyollary’ customs posts located on the Turkmen-Iranian border are of great importance for the country’s foreign trade turnover and transit cargo transportation.
