Project Goals

This project will construct a scale house, two warehouses, customs adminstrative building, and the surrounding road network/parking area within the customs compound. This customs compound will provide customs personnel working at Torkham Gate the ability to thoroughly inspect trucks as they are entering into Afghanistan. This will lead to an increase in customs revenue by accurately accounting for what is entering the counrty, and it will help decrease weapons, munitions, and equipment being smuggled into the country. Torkham Gate Border Crossing Point accounts for almost 25% oal customs revenue collected by GIRoA, and customs revenue accounts for almost 60% ooA's GDP. With this compound in place, the revenues collected will only increase, helping GIRoA become more "self-sufficient."
