Pakistan’s geographical location supports its geo-economic profile and regional connectivity, especially with the Central Asian States. On the government’s instructions, NLC has been developing and operating border terminals to improve cross-border trade management and efficiency including the incorporation of high-tech equipment and facilities.
NLC is endeavoring to provide a “One Stop” border trade facility where all relevant government agencies like Customs, Immigration, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) and Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) can fulfill their respective mandates without encumbering border trade (volume and flow). NLC facilitates cross-border trade and develops facilities aligned with Pakistan's geo-economic vision.
NLC has set up border terminals at Wagha, Torkham, Jamrud, Chaman, Ghulam Khan Kallay, Kharlachi, Taftan, Gabd and Angoor Adda. Operationalization of Scanner Port Project at Karachi and Dry Ports at Quetta & Sost in 2025 has enabled NLC in smooth processing of trade, particularly the transit cargoes.
NLC plans to set up border terminals at Badini and Tsatsobe with Afghanistan while Mand with Iran, which will help in the expansion of bilateral trade with regional countries. The border trade management at Chaman and Torkham is being upgraded under the Integrated Transit Trade Management System (ITTMS) through the Asian Development Bank. Torkham Border Terminals is the only facility of its kind that operates 24/7. Efforts are in hand to operationalize Chaman Border Terminal round the clock as well.
