Türkiye and Iraq are finalizing plans for a new joint customs and logistics zone at the Habur–Faysh Khabur border crossing; the busiest land gateway between the countries. Turkish officials report the zone will include warehousing, customs pre-clearance, and integrated inspection services, reducing transit times by up to 40% and eliminating duplicated procedures.

This development is crucial for trade in construction materials, agricultural products, industrial parts, and energy equipment, as trucks move more efficiently across the border. For businesses seeking efficient supply chains, this infrastructure promises more reliable routes; especially vital for trade into Iraq, the GCC, and onward to Europe.

GTA’s Istanbul hub is ideally positioned to facilitate access to this customs zone. We can coordinate warehousing in Turkey, border permits, and direct inland trucking into Iraq and Kurdish regions; all under a singular operational framework.

Tip for Buyers: Use this route to ship bulk goods; such as steel beams, bulk fertilizers, or machinery; faster and more securely than via the Suez Canal. GTA can navigate cross-border documentation, TIR carnets, and customs duties.
