Kazakhstan

When it comes to transportation of goods from Kazakhstan to Russia or vice versa, the preferable type of transport is obvious: it’s either trucks or railroads. Despite the fact that Russia and Kazakhstan share a common maritime border running along the Caspian Sea, it is quite impractical to deliver via sea transportation.

By the way, you don't have to be a logistics specialist to understand the irrationality of sea transport. A mere glance at both countries on the map is enough to make it obvious. Take, for example, the Russian port of Astrakhan: nothing prevents it from being used for cargo transportation. However, it's very close to the land border, so delivery through Astrakhan by automobile or train is much faster - at least because there's no need to load goods onto ships.

Our specialists will easily choose the appropriate automobiles or railroad cars. After all, thanks to many years of experience, we have all the necessary contacts to quickly organize the delivery to Kazakhstan from Russia and from Kazakhstan to Russia. The contents of the cargo, its storage conditions and other parameters do not matter to us at all.
When compiling a road transportation route, we always take a number of factors into account, including road conditions and ongoing maintenance works both in Russia and Kazakhstan. The main cargo destinations include the following cities in Kazakhstan:

• Nur-Sultan (Astana);
• Alma-Ata;
• Karaganda;
• Shymkent;
• Ust-Kamenogorsk;
• Pavlodar;
• Aktobe;
• Semey;
• Taraz.

When it comes to delivery from Russia to Kazakhstan, there is a nuance. As mentioned above, we do not use sea transportation for these purposes – however, there are exceptions to this rule, which are the transit of goods through the territory of Azerbaijan. And to be more specific – through the port of Baku.

The route in this case is as follows. Cargoes are delivered to Georgia via the Black Sea, then by rail to the port of Baku. And from there – to Kazakhstan. The expediency of using this particular route often depends on two factors: the initial location of the cargo and the destination points in Kazakhstan or Central Asia.

Regardless of whether the cargo will be transported to Kazakhstan through the land border or transit through the port of Baku, you can always take advantage of additional services that will allow you to entrust our specialists with turnkey delivery.
This means that you will not have to deal with issues related to:

• loading and unloading;
• paperwork;
• customs clearance;
• packing;
• cargo insurance.

This or any other issue concerning export to Kazakhstan or import from Kazakhstan will be solved by our specialists quickly and professionally.
