If you want to quickly cross the border (if there is a queue at Chernyayevka) then you are here, immediately prepare money, preferably for 1000 tenge. I only had 2,000 with me and of course they didn't have change))) to open the gate for two at 2000 tenge, to take another 2000 root, well, that's about it. Then the Uzbeks, they are handsome, they almost do not take money, they gave $ 1 for car washing and paid $ 2 to the cashier. I don't mind the money, well, make an economy tariff, business, etc. I paid and drove without waiting in line, so I didn't pay and just drove in, i.e. there's nothing. When I came to Kazakhstan through Chernyayevka, no one took a penny and did not give a hint. And here.... Well, they probably have a difficult financial situation, they are proud of the Uzbeks, neither there nor back, nor on the mecca for money. As I was told, corruption cannot be eradicated at this border, nothing has changed.
The most corrupt border crossing in the world! The Kazakhs have one customs officer, a Russian by nationality. Greedy for money. Using his official position, he tries to humiliate and provoke Russian drivers. A very strange character. Russian himself, but ***.
It took place in a passenger car in the direction from Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan. 2.5-3 hours passed. The Uzbeks did not torment much, they were correct, although they were not in a hurry to do their job.
The Kazakhs behaved very slowly and rather brazenly, especially at the last post, where the car is illuminated. The "enlightener" asked to treat him to dried fruits and even treated himself, although I did not give permission.
The entrance from Uzbekistan goes along some country roads, and this is also the time, on the side of Kazakhstan you immediately get on the highway
Well, at this rate, we will remain wild for other countries,
If you want to find corrupt officials, come here.

We passed the border to Kazygurt by car. It took 14 hours. Kazakhstan demands bribes for everything. Get in line 500₽. You won't let me stand for who knows how long. Passport control 2000 tenge. Just to have it from the bottom of my heart. Car inspection 5000 tenge. Departure from the border of Kazakhstan is 1000 tenge. Arrogant and boorish behavior at the same time. It ruined the whole impression of the country and people.
I often go through customs there, I carry goods to Russia at departure and entry, you wait or you have to stand for hours while documents are processed, especially during the day in the summer it is not possible to breathe from dust there, and in the rain there is slush and slap loading and a lot of garbage, but perhaps it is tolerable!

One small-sized employee in military uniform asked me for 1000 rubles so that I would not carry bags from the car to the tape and back when witnesses started shifts in civilian clothes in a striped cap who denied that his subordinates were not in military uniform, but his subordinates in civilian clothes
Corruption, for which we should give money, Kazakhstan does not pay z/P. customs officers, transport workers, border guards, dog handlers, everyone must be given, you will not give, wait for the next shift
