What causes waiting times at borders on routes to Central Asia?

Waiting times at borders often arise from incomplete documents, high capacity utilization at border crossings, additional customs checks or missing coordination between the parties involved. Transports to Central Asia in particular often depend on several transit countries and different control systems.

Additional delays can occur when commercial invoice, packing list or goods description do not match. Public holidays, driving bans, vehicle changes or short-term changes to import requirements can also affect transit time.

GLOBALSPED plans international road freight transport with a focus on document consistency, realistic transit times and coordinated border handling. The actual duration, however, depends on route, destination country, type of goods and the current traffic situation at border crossings.
