As part of the digital transformation and improved efficiency of crossing the State Border of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Finance has prepared amendments to the rules of operation of the CarGoRuqsat electronic queue system.     These changes are fixed in the drafts of two regulatory legal acts:

1. Order No. 707 dated June 27, 2023, approves the Rules for passing vehicles and goods across the State Border of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including using the electronic queue system on a paid basis;
2. Order No. 538 dated May 25, 2023, determines the amount of fees for passing through the electronic queue at the border.
