Freight routes

Freight from Poland to Kazakhstan

Groupage from 1 kg · consolidation in Vilnius · weekly departures to Almaty and Astana

INFOBETA ships groupage (LTL) and full-truck (FTL) cargo from Poland to Kazakhstan. Cargo from your supplier in Poland goes to the warehouse in Vilnius, is consolidated with other Kazakhstan- and Uzbekistan-bound freight and dispatched every week to Almaty and Astana. Kazakhstan is in the EAEU, so after the external EAEU border the truck runs to the consignee without a second customs stop. Collection at the supplier in Poland is arranged on request — we confirm availability and timing in the quote.

How it works

How it works

1. Enquiry

Send the packing list, HS codes, the pick-up address in Poland and the delivery address in Kazakhstan. Within 24 hours you receive a fixed quote and the permitted route for your codes.

2. From Poland to Vilnius

Cargo is brought to the warehouse in Vilnius (collection at the supplier is arranged on request); for FTL the truck loads directly for Kazakhstan.

3. Consolidation in Vilnius

Groupage is received at the warehouse in Vilnius, checked, consolidated with Uzbekistan-bound freight and loaded into the next weekly truck to Almaty or Astana.

4. Documents and route

EX, T1 transit and CMR are issued in Lithuania. Every HS code is checked against EU Regulations 765/2006 and 833/2014 and the RU/BY lists before loading: open codes run via Belarus or Latvia and Russia to the Kazakh crossings; restricted codes go via Türkiye, Georgia, Baku and Aktau. Free check: infobeta.eu/hs-check.

5. EAEU border and delivery

After the external EAEU border the truck goes straight to Astana, Almaty, Shymkent or Aktobe; import is cleared by the consignee. Veterinary and phytosanitary certificates under EAEU Decisions 317 and 318 are issued in Lithuania before dispatch.
