In the first month of the current Solar year, nearly 50 billion Afghanis in exports, imports, and transit transactions have been processed through the country's customs.

According to Ahmad Wali Haqmal, the spokesperson for the ministry, most of the country's customs offices are now operating 24 hours a day, providing facilities for both domestic and foreign traders.

Haqmal said, "The activity of most customs offices has become 24-hour, corruption has been eliminated, electronic scales have been activated, and the processing of goods is timely and transparent."

However, some traders say that if their issues at the ports in Iran and Pakistan are resolved, the volume of imports, exports, and transit could increase.

Zalmay Azimi, a member of the board of the Chamber of Commerce and Investment, stated, "We have some problems with Iran regarding imports; our goods face many issues there."

Malik Nader Safi, the deputy of the North Oil and Gas Union in Hairatan, expressed, "Our request from the Minister of Finance is that he orders customs officials at all Afghan ports to work not just 24 hours but until midnight so that national traders will be satisfied."

Furthermore, the Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, in a program for the graduation of students from Kabul Polytechnic, stated that conditions for investment by foreign companies have been facilitated, and the Islamic Emirate supports any such investments.

Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, remarked, "We invite domestic and foreign companies to come to Afghanistan because the environment for good investment has been made favorable, and the system supports them."

Previously, the officials of the Islamic Emirate have emphasized that Afghanistan has adopted a balanced and economy-centric policy with neighboring and regional countries, which has led to the expansion of bilateral and multilateral cooperation with Afghanistan.
