The State Revenue Committee reports on the completion of the construction of the Alakol customs checkpoint on the Kazakhstan section of the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union. Since May 12, 2025 the checkpoint has been fully operational.

The new facility was built under the project “Modernization and technical upgrading of checkpoints located on the Kazakhstan section of the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union”. The realization of this project is aimed at increasing the efficiency of foreign economic activity, reducing border crossing time and improving conditions for participants of foreign economic activity and citizens.

The modern Dostyk checkpoint is equipped with all the necessary technological equipment for automated customs and other types of state control.

One of the key results of the modernization was the expansion of the number of lanes from two to six. This increased the throughput capacity to 800 vehicles per day. Thus, border crossing time is significantly reduced and the logistics of international transportation is simplified.

The opening of the new customs post was an important step towards strengthening the border infrastructure, increasing the throughput capacity and transit potential of the country and the EAEU.
