The Uzbeks have everything clearly and properly. They do not waste money, they are polite, they answer all questions, they treat them with understanding. Yes, the database may not work and it is possible to get stuck for a couple of hours because of this, but this is a cost. On the Kazakh side, in addition to the fact that each employee demands "respect" in the form of 1-2 thousand tenge, the work of customs is specifically slowed down so that people themselves begin to offer money. I'll give you some advice, if they don't let the queue pass on the Kazakh side, the staff say that you can't drive through or there are other problems, immediately make a fuss, go to the senior, don't hesitate. More noise, more opportunities to get through faster.

The people are simply the best checkpoint, after hell in Chernyaevka (16 hours!), both borders are here in 1-40 minutes, only Kazakhs ask for a bribe, advice is to give a little, the very first one who meets, the next to say-everything has already been paid-they skip without problems,),but they do not check the amount.there is one queue for trucks and cars,cars from Uzbekistan-you drive along the oncoming lane,and stand in front of the first truck-they will let you through,the Uzbeks do not ask for money,only things (the most basic, suitcases),you need to carry X-rays,the Kazakhs have an X-ray frame,you do not need to put anything out,in general-never GO THROUGH CHERNYAEVKA, only here),all this is relevant when milking passenger cars-I don't know how long the trucks have been standing (but the queue from Kazakhstan was a couple of kilometers for sure, everything is relevant on 10/28/2024

May 7, 2025 from 22h- 01h (May 8) Everything is clear from the Ukzbek side. Kazakhs demand money, threaten and blackmail. If you don't pay, they pull you out of the queue and don't let you through. The passengers made a scene, crossed on foot two hours ago and are freezing. Then the boss came to me with 5 subordinates, saying that you can't complain anywhere, but you need to negotiate on the spot. Only after that the car was put in the queue, he did not pay the money. Similarly, with your police officers, every second extorts money, the text seems to be the same: they ask for "tea in May", pay for their "breakfast", ask to pay for "respect", but in this way, on the contrary, you fall in the eyes of the guests of your republic. Everything described applies to a specific place and people, everyone else on our way was friendly and polite.
