Syria moved 25.27 million tonnes of goods from January through September 2026, according to the Transport Ministry’s Directorate for Freight Transport Regulation. The total included 22.77 million tonnes transported domestically and 2.51 million tonnes across borders.

The directorate also recorded 1,263,611 loaded vehicles during the period: 1,180,109 operating within Syria and 83,502 carrying goods across borders. Tonnage, vehicle counts and oversight infrastructure are separate measures; the figures describe transport activity reported by the source agency.

The rounded domestic and cross-border values sum to 25.28 million, while the source states a 25.27 million total; the discrepancy is retained. July and April are monthly domestic subsets and are not added to the nine-month total.
