Islamabad 12 August: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has declared the National Logistic Corporation (NLC) Border Terminal at Angoor Adda as a customs port to enhance trade and streamline goods clearance on the Pakistan–Afghanistan border.
In a notification issued under the Customs Act, 1969, the FBR designated the 194.5-kanal facility for loading, unloading, and clearance of goods. Angoor Adda lies on the frontier between South Waziristan district and Afghanistan’s Paktika province.
The move is part of the government’s broader plan to modernise border infrastructure, speed up customs procedures, and promote legitimate cross-border commerce. Officials say the terminal will serve as a key trade gateway, reducing clearance delays, improving logistics, and boosting revenue collection.

A senior FBR official said the port will also strengthen border security and curb smuggling. “This facility will facilitate cross-border trade, create structured revenue streams, and improve accountability and efficiency in customs operations,” he noted.
With its strategic location, the new port is expected to expedite goods processing, enhance trade flows, and contribute significantly to the national exchequer.
