Is Eastern Europe experience sufficient for transports to Central Asia?

Eastern Europe experience is helpful, but it is not always sufficient for transports to Central Asia. Central Asia places additional requirements on transit planning, border handling, documentation, transit-time assessment and regional communication.

Companies should check whether a freight forwarder not only knows Eastern European routes, but also has experience with countries such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan or Turkmenistan. The differences concern not only distance, but also customs processes, consignee coordination, transit countries and operational disruption assessment.

GLOBALSPED combines experience in Eastern Europe with transport planning for Central Asia and helps companies avoid treating destination regions as if they were all the same.
