According to them, the traffic jams arose due to slowed inspections of trucks at the Kazakh checkpoint "Karasu".
Igor Golubev, Deputy Chairman of the Association of International Freight Carriers, told Kaktus.media that the current situation is related to increased control by the Committee of State Revenues of the Republic of Kazakhstan (customs service). At the moment, "the throughput capacity of the post remains extremely low." He also added that such inspections from Kazakhstan have been conducted for quite some time, but their frequency has increased over the past week.
