Georgia and Kazakhstan will implement a pilot electronic exchange of international road transport permits beginning July 22, marking a major step in digitalisation of cross-border freight operations.
Both sides will issue and exchange transport permits through the e-Permit platform.
The system is expected to streamline administrative procedures, enhance transparency and accelerate processing of documents.
The two countries will issue and exchange transport permits through the e-Permit digital platform on a trial basis. The system is expected to streamline administrative procedures, enhance transparency and accelerate the processing of freight transport documents, according to Kazakh media outlets.
There are also plans to introduce an unlimited permit regime once the transition to fully electronic document exchange is over.
To support rising cargo demand, both sides agreed to exchange an additional 6,000 transport permits for 2026. They also approved a preliminary quota of 20,500 permits for 2027—a rise of 6,000.
The expanded quotas are expected to open new opportunities for freight carriers, strengthen regional logistics connectivity and deepen trade and economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and Georgia.
