Iraqi authorities took control of the main land crossing with Turkey, which is located in Faysh Khabur, a customs official said on Tuesday.
The crossing was previously managed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) as it is located in the Dohuk province.
Baghdad has taken a series of retaliatory measures in response to an illegitimate independence referendum held on Sept. 25 by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
The Habur border gate, named the Ibrahim al-Khalil crossing in Iraq, is the main transit point between Turkey and the KRG.
