Pakistan Customs has processed the first export consignment of fresh White Chaunsa mangoes from Pakistan to Moscow under the TIR Convention, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) said. The exporter is Ishfaq & Co, based in Okara, Sahiwal.

The shipment left Pakistan through the Taftan–Mirjawa border crossing and is bound for Moscow via Tehran, Astara and Astrakhan. The route passes through Iran and Azerbaijan.

The road distance from Taftan to Moscow via Astara is about 4,600 kilometres. The FBR said the journey is expected to take around seven days.

The FBR said the transport route is among the first efforts to introduce Pakistani fresh fruit and locally made goods to Russia. It could also give Pakistani traders a land route to European markets.

The route could also be used for kinnow exports, with delivery to Moscow taking about 10 days. A sea journey from Karachi to St Petersburg takes around 35 days. The FBR said the shorter transit time could increase kinnow and other exports to Russia and the European Union.
