- Afghanistan has began exports to India through the Chabahar Port.

- The cargo movement at Chabahar will be under the provisions of Transports Internationaux Routiers(TIR) Convention.The Customs Convention on International Transport of Goods under cover of TIR Carnets, 1975 (TIR Convention), is an international transit system under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) to facilitate the seamless movement of goods within and amongst the Parties to the Convention.
- U.S. government had granted an exception to certain U.S. sanctions on Iran that allowed development of Chabahar port as part of a new transportation corridor designed to boost Afghanistan’s economy.
