Kazakhstan Transports
MARTIN INTERNATIONALE SPEDITION
Your freight forwarder for international Kazakhstan transports
How do you achieve reliable transport to Kazakhstan?
Reliable transport to Kazakhstan starts with clear planning. As a freight forwarder, MARTIN organises commercial transports between Germany, the EU and Kazakhstan. We offer pallet shipping, part loads and groupage to Kazakhstan. We carry larger quantities of goods as a full truckload (FTL). We offer return transports from Kazakhstan exclusively as direct transports (FTL).
For road transport, two routes are available: via Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan with a ferry across the Caspian Sea, or via Russia. Whether the Russia route is permitted for your shipment is checked in advance on the basis of the goods and the applicable regulations. We agree the route, transit time and scope of customs services with you personally before the order is placed.
For time-critical shipments, we offer air freight to Astana and Almaty. We organise collection in Germany and the EU and the pre-carriage to Hannover, Frankfurt or Berlin airports. Loading takes place according to available flight capacity. We also offer the last mile from the customs warehouse in the country of destination to your warehouse. The scope of delivery is agreed in the quote.

Part Loads and Groupage
MARTIN offers part loads and groupage to Kazakhstan for smaller commercial shipments. Your pallets and packages are consolidated with other shipments. Depending on suitability and admissibility, carriage takes place via Turkey and the Caspian Sea or via Russia. We agree collection, departure, transit time, delivery and the customs services you require for your shipment before booking.
Full Truckloads (FTL)
MARTIN organises full truckloads between Germany, the EU and Kazakhstan. Transport capacity is planned for your shipment. The route via Russia and the connection via Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and the Caspian Sea are available. We check in advance which route is permitted and suitable. The transport process, transit time and customs services are set out in the quote.
Heavy and Oversized Transports
We plan heavy and oversized transports to Kazakhstan, for example for machines or industrial plants. On the basis of dimensions, weight and loading conditions, we check suitable vehicles and routes. The required route surveys, permits and any escort measures are agreed for your shipment. We agree the transport process and the scope of services before the order is placed.
Express Shipping
For urgent commercial shipments, we look at an individual direct transport between Germany, the EU and Kazakhstan. For transports from Kazakhstan, buses and vans with a payload of up to 1,000 kg are available, among others. We agree the route, vehicle, collection date and expected transit time on the basis of your shipment. The suitability of the route is checked before the order is placed.

Project Transports
For extensive or technically demanding shipments to Kazakhstan, we develop an individual transport concept. In doing so, we take into account dimensions, weight, loading conditions and the destination. Before the order is placed, we agree the means of transport, route planning, the necessary permits and the scope of document services with you in line with the requirements of your project.
High-Value Transports
For high-value goods to Kazakhstan, we plan a transport solution tailored to your shipment. The value of the goods, packaging and security requirements form the basis. On request, additional insurance of up to 3,000,000 euros per vehicle can be taken out. It must be agreed separately. The sum insured, scope of cover and conditions are clarified before the transport begins.
ADR Dangerous Goods Transports
We offer dangerous goods transports to Kazakhstan. Tank goods and dangerous goods of ADR class 1 are excluded. For our check, we need the UN number, the hazard class, the packaging details and the quantity. We check on the basis of the goods and the route whether we can carry your shipment. Vehicle equipment, the required documents and responsibilities for customs clearance are agreed before the order is placed.
Refrigerated and Frozen Transports
MARTIN offers temperature-controlled transports to Kazakhstan in the temperature range from −15 °C to +22 °C. Let us know the type of goods, the required transport temperature and any special specifications. We match the appropriate vehicle technology and the loading and delivery conditions to your shipment.

The route via Turkey and the Caspian Sea usually involves higher freight costs and longer transit times than the route via Russia. |
For permitted shipments, this is often the more economical and faster option compared with the route via Turkey and the Caspian Sea. |
The transit times are guide values for transports from Germany to Astana. They apply from collection at the sender to arrival at the customs warehouse in Astana. Subsequent import clearance and onward delivery to the consignee are not included. Border clearance, ferry availability and other delays can affect the transit time. We agree the specific time frame and scope of services for your shipment. Transit via Russia requires the specific shipment to be checked in accordance with the applicable regulations.
What requirements must be met to manage a reliably planned and professionally supported transport to Kazakhstan?
A reliably planned and professionally supported transport to Kazakhstan succeeds when companies take the long distances, regional handover points and customs formalities into account at an early stage and a specialised freight forwarder for Kazakhstan takes over the coordination. The country is an important market for energy projects, mechanical engineering and industrial plants, which is why clearly structured transport chains are indispensable for companies. What matters is that goods are collected, documented and transported via the relevant border routes without delays. MARTIN Spedition ensures that all documents are complete and that the processes in Germany run smoothly. This keeps every transport to Kazakhstan transparent, efficient and reliably manageable, even for technically demanding projects.
Transports from Kazakhstan
We organise return transports to Germany and the EU exclusively as direct transports or FTL: buses/vans with a payload of up to 1,000 kg and curtain-sided, box or refrigerated vehicles up to 21.5 t. Both routes are available after a shipment-specific check. We do not offer LTL or groupage from Kazakhstan.

Yes. MARTIN organises transports to Kazakhstan via Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan and by ferry across the Caspian Sea – without crossing Russian territory. This connection usually takes longer and incurs higher freight costs than the route via Russia. Before the order is placed, we check which connection is suitable and permitted for your shipment. The applicable regulations also apply on the route without transit through Russia.
Regular departures take place on Wednesday and Friday via Turkey and on Thursday via Russia. The collection date at the sender is agreed separately. Before booking, we confirm the available transport capacity and check which route is permitted for your shipment. Individual dates for direct transports and full truckloads are agreed in the quote.
MARTIN calculates the freight rate on the basis of the place of loading and destination, type of goods, package dimensions, gross weight, mode of transport, route and date. Special requirements and additional services also affect the total price. The quote specifies which transport and customs service costs are included and which duties or ancillary costs are charged separately. For a reliable calculation, we need the specific shipment data.
