Starting from January 1, 2024, the service of allowing freight vehicles, including trailers and tractor units, to pass through the State Border of the Republic of Kazakhstan is chargeable.
The fees for the passage of freight vehicles, cargo, and goods through the State Border are regulated by the Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 538 dated May 25, 2023.
Considering the amendments introduced by Order No. 513 of September 19, 2025, the following fees are currently charged:
1) In the order of the queue, according to the date and time of the reservation in the automated electronic queue system (hereinafter – SEO) – 1 MRP;
2) Out-of-turn passage* – 100 MRP;
3) Accelerated passage* – 100 MRP;
4) Re-booking* – 100 MRP.
* The procedures for priority, expedited, and secondary booking are determined in accordance with the Rules for the passage of motor vehicles, cargo, and goods across the State Border of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including through the paid electronic queue system, approved by Order No. 707 of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 27, 2023 (hereinafter – the Rules).
Additionally, a guarantee deposit of 100 MRP is required for using the reservation in the SEO.
The Electronic Queue System automatically verifies data by integrating with information systems, including checking the availability of a guarantee deposit for using the reservation (sub-paragraph 17-1 of paragraph 18 of the Rules). If the guarantee deposit is available, the system automatically blocks the required amount (20 MCI) in the user’s personal account.
The guarantee deposit is withheld in the user’s personal account for each reservation in the Electronic Queue System for the date and time of the vehicle’s entry into the checkpoint for crossing the State Border of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
If the reservation is used, meaning the vehicle crosses the checkpoint, the guarantee deposit is automatically unblocked for reuse in the next reservation or for returning it to the user.
The full unblocking of the guarantee deposit is allowed if, once within 90 calendar days, the vehicle does not arrive at the checkpoint according to the reserved date and time, or if the reservation is canceled once during this period.
Other cases of unblocking or returning the guarantee deposit to the carrier are not provided.
