The Iranian Cabinet of Ministers has designated the Kallaleh border point in East Azerbaijan Province as an authorized customs gateway for the entry and exit of goods and passengers.

The decision was approved during the Cabinet meeting held on May 22, 2024, following a proposal from the working group established under Note 1 of Article 103 of the Customs Affairs Law. The approval was formally issued on May 29, 2024.

Under the decision, Kallaleh is officially recognized as a permitted customs route for both commercial cargo and passenger traffic. This designation provides the legal basis for customs operations to be established and conducted at the border point.

The Plan and Budget Organization of Iran is required to allocate the necessary funding for establishing the required infrastructure, facilities, and human resources. It must provide the funding from the relevant approved appropriations and include the required allocations in future annual budget bills.

The measure is expected to support the development of formal cross-border trade and passenger movement in East Azerbaijan Province.
