A pilot electronic exchange of international road transport permits between Kazakhstan and Georgia comes into force from July 22, 2026. It is a major step toward the digitalization of cross-border freight operations. As Kazinform reports, the sides reached the agreement during a meeting of the Kazakhstan-Georgia Joint Commission on International Road Transport in Astana. According to the initiative, Georgia and Kazakhstan will issue and exchange transport permits through the e-Permit digital platform on a trial basis. They expect the system to streamline administrative procedures, enhance transparency, and accelerate the processing of freight transport
documents. The introduction of an unlimited permit regime once the transition to fully electronic document exchange is completed is also in plans. The growing volume of bilateral and transit cargo transportation showed the strategic roles of the two countries in key international transport corridors. Kazakhstan and Georgia agreed to exchange an additional 6,000 transport permits for 2026 to support rising demand. The countries also approved a preliminary quota of 20,500 permits for 2027. It will be 6,000 permits more compared to the previous period. The aim is to open new opportunities for freight carriers, strengthen regional logistics connectivity, and deepen trade and economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and Georgia.
