In this regard, we previously received a letter stating that Kuwait had only allowed the entry of feed and food products through Iraq (Abdali Border Gate), and subsequently extended this restriction to include medical supplies, construction materials, and basic necessities. This time, in a letter received from our Ministry"s General Directorate of European Union and Foreign Relations, it is stated that Kuwaiti authorities have no objection to the expansion of the product scope, but it is requested that our transporters be informed about obtaining the necessary approvals from the relevant institutions before shipment, carrying out the transports within the scope of the TIR system, and complying with the relevant legislation.
