Overview

This report summarizes the results of surveys carried out on the Afghan side in May 2008 at two border crossing points (BCPs), Hairatan, linking Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, and Sher Khan Bandar, linking Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Since the bulk of trade with all CAREC members, except for Azerbaijan, People's Republic of China, and Mongolia, goes through these BCPs, they provide a good vantage point to gain a better understanding of this trade and constraints it faces.
