BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 25.
Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have reached an agreement on the full
transition to the electronic permit system.


This was reported by the press service of the Azerbaijan Land
Transport Agency.


According to the report, from next year, paper permits will be
completely abandoned between the countries, and only electronic
permit forms will be exchanged and issued.


"The agreement on this was reached at the next meeting of the
Joint Commission on International Road Transport between the
Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency (AYNA) and the Kazakhstan
Committee for Road Transport and Transport Control in Baku. This
decision was made taking into account the successful results of the
use and current active application of the e-permit system," the
report said.


The report noted that the full electronicization of the process
of exchanging and issuing "Permit" forms will minimize
administrative and operational difficulties, as well as make a
significant contribution to a more transparent, fast, and efficient
organization of international transport processes.







"The meeting, which was also attended by representatives of the
State Customs Committee, the Azerbaijan International Road Carriers
Association, and national carriers, also discussed the current
state and development prospects of international cargo
transportation by road between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. The
parties expressed their satisfaction with the increase in the
volume of cargo transportation in recent years, as well as the
important role played by both countries in the international and
transit transportation system.


A decision was made to exchange a total of 6,000 additional
electronic permit forms for the implementation of international
cargo transportation this year, 2,000 for bilateral, transit, and
transportation to/from a third country," the report explained.


The report pointed out that the initial quota of permit forms
for 2027 was determined at a total of 28,000 permit forms,
including 12,000 for bilateral transportation, 8,000 for transit
transportation, and 8,000 for transportation to/from a third
country.


"Thus, the total quota of permit forms exchanged between the two
countries for international cargo transportation has been increased
by 12,000 units compared to the previous period. The parties
expressed their confidence that the demand for permit forms of
carriers will be fully met in the current and subsequent years,"
the report added.
