The border with Afghanistan, which was closed after the attack, was reopened on Tuesday morning.
A 12-year-old boy was killed and 22 others were injured in the blast on Monday. Three of the critically injured were later shifted to the Quetta Civil Hospital.
A suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden jacket near a Frontier Corps vehicle in the parking lot of the border area where people and Nato trucks wait for clearance for their onward journey.
