Construction work has begun on the reconstruction of the “Artyk” and “Sarahs awtoyollary” customs posts on the Turkmen-Iranian border. The State Customs Service of Turkmenistan is overseeing the construction, which is consistently working to increase the throughput capacity of border customs posts and improve the quality of customs services.
According to the Service’s website, construction work will be carried out by the private company “Ojar Asia” in 2025–2026.
The plan is to completely reconstruct the existing customs checkpoint buildings, as well as widely implement digital systems and automate customs procedures.
As a result, conditions will be created for a significant reduction in the time spent on customs control of vehicles and an increase in transit cargo.
We previously reported that reconstruction of the “Serhetabat” customs post on the Turkmen-Afghan border had begun.
