Afghanistan suspends customs clearance for Pakistani medicine imports
The Afghan Ministry of Finance announced on Thursday that customs clearance for medicines imported from Pakistan will be suspended for the next three months. The decision was made under the directive of the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs.
In an official statement, the ministry urged all traders importing medicines from Pakistan to settle their existing transactions and seek alternative supply routes.
The Islamic Emirate explained that the suspension is intended to prevent the influx of low-quality medicines into Afghanistan.
The Durand Line crossings remain closed for trade since October 11 following ground fighting and Pakistani airstrikes.
