Road route China — Uzbekistan
Khorgos — Tashkent: road freight from China to Uzbekistan
Road freight from China to Uzbekistan via the Khorgos border crossing: a 24/7 border, transit across Kazakhstan and direct delivery to Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and the Fergana Valley.
Khorgos — the main land gateway from China to Uzbekistan
Khorgos is the largest road crossing in Xinjiang and handles most of the cargo flow from China to Central Asia. The border operates 24/7, so clearance runs around the clock. Cargo is collected anywhere in China, crosses at Khorgos, moves through Kazakhstan towards Almaty and Shymkent and then enters Uzbekistan. UZLogis handles export clearance in China, transit documents and customs clearance in Uzbekistan.

Khorgos route questions
How does the Khorgos border crossing work?
The Khorgos road crossing operates 24/7, so cargo can be cleared at any hour. It is the busiest crossing, so queues are possible during holidays and peak seasons — we recommend keeping a 2–3 day buffer in your planning.
How does cargo transit through Kazakhstan?
Under transit customs procedures: the cargo moves across Kazakhstan towards Almaty and Shymkent and is cleared at the Uzbek border. We prepare all the documents.
What is the difference between LTL and FTL?
LTL is groupage: your consignment is loaded together with other cargo, which is cost-effective from 40 kg up to a few tonnes. FTL is a full truckload: the vehicle is dedicated to your cargo, which is fast and safe for large volumes.
