Bakhty — Baketu is a road crossing in the east, opposite Tacheng (Chuguchak). It is convenient for cargo to the Abai and East Kazakhstan regions. We prepare the passage in advance, so the truck leaves the crossing the day the cargo arrives.

Where the waiting comes from
- Electronic queue slot: 2–7 days
- Bonded warehouse and customs release: 3–7 days
- Special permit and route: 5–10 days

How we pass without waiting
The slot is booked weeks ahead, documents reach the broker before arrival, the permit and route are ready, and the trailer and crane are waiting. The driver leaves the same day.
Frequently asked questions
When should I choose Bakhty?
