How a shipment from Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan moves
A full truck from Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan takes 3 to 8 days. Groupage (LTL) takes 5 to 11. We count transit time from loading in Tashkent, Fergana, Andijan or another city to unloading in Kazakhstan: Almaty is about two days away, Astana three to four.
The cargo is loaded at the shipper's premises, and export clearance is done in Uzbekistan. The truck leaves through the Zhibek Zholy crossing and drives north through Kazakhstan. There are no other borders on the way.
Transit time to the delivery city:
- Tashkent to Almaty (about 820 km): 3–6 days by full truck, 5–9 days by groupage;
- Tashkent to Astana (about 1,650 km): 3–8 days by full truck, 5–11 days by groupage.
If the cargo is going to another city in Kazakhstan, name it in the request and we will calculate the time to that city.
What affects transit time
For Almaty the time adds up like this: about two days on the road, about a day for loading, half a day to a day for export clearance in Uzbekistan, and half a day to 2 days at Zhibek Zholy. For Astana the drive takes 3–4 days and the rest is the same. The upper limit allows for the worst case at Zhibek Zholy: it is the narrowest point, and on a short route it stretches the schedule the most. The total is not a simple sum of the highest values.
Groupage takes 2–3 days longer than a full truck, because the truck has to be put together from several consignments. The manager gives you the departure schedule as part of the quote.
As on other routes, cargo is most often held up by mistakes in the invoice or missing certificates. We check the documents before dispatch.
What we carry and in what
The most common cargo from Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan is fruit and vegetables, food, textiles and building materials. A full truck makes sense from 10 tonnes or 40 m³, and we use tilt trucks, reefers and container carriers. For fresh fruit and vegetables, choose a reefer and say so in your request. For smaller loads, use groupage, starting from a few pallets.
Documents you need
From you we need the invoice, the packing list and the contract with the buyer. If your goods require certificates, for example a phytosanitary certificate for fruit and vegetables or a certificate of origin, prepare them in advance.
We take care of the rest: we prepare the CMR consignment note, the TIR carnet and the customs declaration, and we select the HS code from the description of your goods.
How much shipping costs
There are no prices on the site: rates change every day. The price depends on the loading and delivery cities, the truck type, the weight and volume, the season and customs. To get a quote, send us the origin, the destination, what you ship, the weight or volume and the date the cargo will be ready. During working hours, 9:00 to 18:00 (Tashkent time), a manager replies within 5 minutes with the price and transit time, and then keeps you informed about where your cargo is at every stage.
