Iranian Embassy in Kabul, Mohammad Reza Karimzada, on Wednesday said Iran is offering an 80 percent discount in export tariffs to Afghan traders if they use Chabahar port.

Karimzada said the route from Afghanistan to Chabahar port was a lot shorter than that to Karachi port, in Pakistan, and Banda-r-Abas port, in Iran.

He also stated that there was good infrastructure and few problems relating to the transit of goods through Iran and that many businessmen were now using Chabahar port rather than Karachi port.

Karimzada also said that Iran is giving Afghan traders a 75 percent discount on import duties when using Chabahar, and were providing warehouse facilities and other services.

“A series of facilities has already been built at the Chabahar port and in order to encourage traders discounts are being offered for warehousing and services,” said Karimzada.

Meanwhile Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) has called for an increase in logistics capacity at Chabahar – especially for large cargo ships.

“What is so important is that standard airports where large planes can land, and (a proper harbor where) cargo ships can dock, are not yet in place,” said ACCI deputy head Tawfiq Dawari.

According to the ACCI, the current trade volume between Afghanistan and Iran is worth an estimated $1.5 billion USD – which includes a large percentage of Afghanistan’s fuel that comes through Chabahar port.
 
Still can't match the subsidies provided by Pakistan to Indian shipments.
We provide free transit and allow 80% of Indian containers to sell duty free in Pakistan.

This is great. Now the cost of the Afghan War will go down. All Trump has to do is to call up Rouhani and ask that all supplies to the Afghan mission should go through Chabahar. Oh wait.... o_O

That was the original plan,but Trump messed it up by tinkering with the nuclear deal with Iran

You don't allow us to export to Afghanistan.

You may be providing the subsidies for shipments into your country. That's why we had look for other options.

50% of Indian produce is shipped by Pakistan to Afghanistan and Central Asia.
We pay for transit expenses and customs handling charges... India can't even dream of letting go the $billions worth aid provided by Pakistan.
Pakistani markets are full of duty free Indian shampoos and repacked but useless medicine.

Oww! Why not do that with your best buddy China then? India is not asking you to take Indian products. Even the medical imports, you repack them as your own and sell it to Afghan or other central asian countries.

I guess that benefits Pakistan with millions of $$. You can't cover the expenses of your piss poor nation with Chinese imports and you are running on loans to cover up other loans. Great.

Also, India Pakistan trade is only in millions which is meager compared to our total exports which are in hundreds of billions.

So, if you think you are giving us a favor, it's simply pakistani delusion.
 
Pakistan surely can't afford school for every kid but our politicians are united when it comes to transit aid to India.
Any Pakistani can confirm, markets are full of Indian shampoo and soaps, while there exist no record of official import.
However, MQM which control port Qasim has the duty to count how many containers were off loaded from a ship or if there was any ship at all!
In exchange MQM gets as many visa of UK as they require.
Why KPK govt. let American /India containers cross border without fuss.... may be PTI should come forward and explain their love for Northern Alliance!
