TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, April 13. Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan launched the E-Permit system in the sphere of international cargo transportation, Trend reports.
Citing Uzbekistan's Ministry of Transport, the first quotas were
swapped using the E-Permit system, and trucks went through the
Yallama customs post (on the Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan border).
The Digital Transport Center, which is part of Uzbekistan's
Ministry of Transport, successfully tested this system.
By this introduction, as the Kazakh Transport Ministry stresses,
Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have simplified the process of obtaining
road freight transit permits.
Thus, a joint decree of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan will go into
effect on April 15th, requiring Kazakh carriers to obtain permits
for the transportation of goods in the category "to/from third
countries" in electronic form.
On March 28, Uzbek permit forms for "to/from third countries" were
issued in paper form at the border, with an online version
scheduled for April 15.
