Exports worth $5.1 billion passed through Habur, one of country’s 14 border gates, in Silopi in the southeastern province of Şırnak in 2010, a Turkish customs official has said.
Rıfat Bolat, general manager of Habur Customs, said Friday that in 2010 1,638,428 vehicles and 3,338,190 individuals passed through the gate.
Most of the exports that went through the border crossing to northern Iraq involved construction materials, but there were also significant numbers of potatoes and onions that were shipped through Habur, Bolat said.
Compared to previous years, the amount of vehicles and passengers using the Habur Border Gate has increased 20 percent, the customs official said.
At the same time, Bolat said there were no delays in vehicle or passenger traffic at the gate and added that it took only 15 minutes per vehicle to pass the crossing.
