All trucks waiting behind Dogharoun border terminal in Khorasan Razavi Province will be allowed to cross the border and enter Afghanistan’s Islam Qala crossing in Herat Province, except for those carrying fuels (gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas and diesel), according to Rouhollah Latifi, the spokesperson of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration.
“A limited number of trucks carrying perishable goods [fruits and vegetables] were admitted by Islam Qala customs [as the border is called on the Afghan side of the crossing] on Thursday. As of Friday, all 2,000 trucks carrying commercial goods, from a total of 2,500 trucks grounded at the border following last Saturday’s explosion, will be permitted to cross the border and enter the neighboring country. The entry of new consignments into Dogharoun border terminal is still not allowed,” Latifi was quoted as saying by IRNA.  
"Employees of Afghanistan’s Islam Qala customs facility have resumed work and one of the customs scales has again become operational to weigh the commercial cargos," he added.
