Afghanistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia whose trade is heavily dependent on land corridors through Pakistan and Iran. Key exports include dried fruits, nuts, carpets, medicinal plants, and precious stones. Since the Taliban takeover in 2021, trade professionals must carefully assess sanctions exposure, banking restrictions, and humanitarian exemption frameworks before engaging in any commercial activity.

The U.S. Treasury's OFAC maintains sanctions targeting the Taliban and associated individuals. Humanitarian trade is generally exempt, but all transactions require thorough screening against the SDN list and relevant executive orders.
Afghanistan's primary exports include dried fruits and nuts (especially raisins and pomegranates), hand-woven carpets, medicinal herbs, cotton, and precious and semi-precious stones.
Most goods transit through Pakistan via the Torkham and Chaman border crossings, or through Iran via the Islam Qala crossing; air freight through Kabul International Airport is also used for high-value cargo.
