Regarding the Ministry Notification (International Freight Transport / Caspian Crossings)

Dear Member,

In the letter sent to our Chamber by The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB);

it was conveyed that, in the letter dated 26.09.2020 received from the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, it had been determined that, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact worldwide and the Turkmenistan route is still closed to complete vehicle (tractor+semi-trailer) traffic, there has been a serious increase in tractor+semi-trailer change applications made to the said Ministry, particularly by our companies carrying out semi-trailer transport to Central Asian countries via the Caspian Sea.

For this reason, in order to provide convenience to companies using this route, it was announced that, for transports destined for Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan using the Caspian route (Georgia-Azerbaijan-Caspian Sea-Turkmenistan) from our border gates opening to Georgia, Turkish-plated tractors exiting the country are permitted to return to our country with another trailer/semi-trailer registered to their own company (including group companies) without the need to apply separately to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (provided that they do not return before 96 hours and that the documents relating to the use of the Azerbaijan-Turkmenistan Ro-Ro are kept for any subsequent inspections by the relevant Ministry).
This is submitted for your information.
