Central Asia

For which destination countries is the southern route relevant?

The southern route is particularly relevant for transports to Central Asia and the Caucasus, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan.

The southern route is particularly relevant for transports to Central Asia and the Caucasus. Depending on transport planning, this includes Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia.

For transports to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan, the route via Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea can be an important alternative to the northern route. For Caucasus destinations such as Georgia, Armenia or Azerbaijan, the southern route can also be operationally relevant because it leads directly through this corridor.

Since this route may involve several transit countries, border crossings and a ferry connection, precise planning of route, documents, transit time and consignee coordination is particularly important. GLOBALSPED reviews the suitable route based on destination, type of goods, transport type and customs requirements.
