How cargo reaches Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is Central Asia's most direct lane from the Baltics — and the one where partial loads make the most sense.
From Vilnius through Latvia or via Belarus and Russia — depending on what the goods are allowed to transit — to the Kazakh border crossings (Petukhovo–Zhaisan, Troitsk–Kairak, Sagarchin) and on to Astana, Almaty, Shymkent or Aktobe.
Regular departures from our Vilnius hub to Almaty and Astana, consolidated with Uzbekistan-bound cargo — a pallet leaves without waiting for a full truck. From 1 kg or 0.1 m³.
Container and wagon shipments from Lithuanian and Polish terminals to Almaty, Astana and Dostyk. Best for heavy, regular volumes.
Vilnius / Riga / Warsaw → Almaty or Astana, 1–3 days.
For goods barred from Belarus and Russia: Turkey → Georgia → Baku → Aktau. Longer, but sanction-safe.
Transit times
| Mode | Vilnius → Almaty | Vilnius → Astana |
|---|---|---|
| Road FTL | 8–12 days | 7–10 days |
| Groupage LTL | 10–14 days | 9–12 days |
| Rail | 14–20 days | 12–18 days |
| Air | 1–3 days | 1–3 days |
Kazakhstan is in the Eurasian Economic Union: once the cargo clears the EAEU external border it moves to the Kazakh consignee without a second customs stop — one of the reasons this lane is faster than Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan.

Why INFOBETA on the Kazakhstan lane
Every week 3–6 trucks leave Vilnius for Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. These two lanes are where we are strongest in partial loads: own hub, own consolidation, own paperwork — you pay only for the space you use. Since 2008, forwarder liability insured for 200 000 EUR. One coordinator from booking to delivery, in Lithuanian, English or Russian.
Kazakhstan freight — common questions
Do you carry partial loads (groupage / LTL) to and from Kazakhstan?
Yes — partial loads are a core strength. We consolidate groupage through our Lithuanian hub, and we are the strongest partial-load operator in Lithuania to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
Which freight modes do you offer to and from Kazakhstan?
We move cargo by road, rail, air (avia) and multimodal transport — as full loads or partial loads — choosing the fastest, most cost-efficient option for each shipment. Air and partial loads reach worldwide.
Do you run rail freight from Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and to Kazakhstan?
Yes — we operate regular rail and wagon services from Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and to Kazakhstan (Almaty) and back, combined with road for first and last mile.
How long does delivery between Kazakhstan and Europe take?
Transit time depends on the mode and route. We plan the quickest realistic option through our Lithuanian hub and minimise delays; ask us for an exact estimate on your lane.
Do you handle customs clearance for Kazakhstan?
Yes — full import and export customs clearance, prepared documents and T1 transit support so your Kazakhstan shipments move without hold-ups.
Which cities in Kazakhstan do you deliver to?
We deliver across Kazakhstan — including Almaty, Astana, Aktau, Pavlodar — and to other cities on request, both import and export.
Can goods to Kazakhstan transit through Belarus and Russia?
Kazakhstan is usually reached via Russia, so sanctions screening matters. Use our free HS code check: it shows whether the Belarus route is open or the cargo must go via the Caspian.
How often do groupage trucks leave for Kazakhstan?
Regularly, every week, from our Vilnius hub to Almaty and Astana, consolidated with Uzbekistan cargo. Ask for the next departure date when you book.
Where is import clearance for Kazakhstan done?
As an EAEU member, import clearance can be done at the EAEU external border or at the destination customs post; we advise which is faster for your goods.
