The clearing authority is State Customs Committee of Uzbekistan. Historical dwell on this gateway is around 4–10 days, and it lengthens in Sep–Nov.

How this lane actually runs

Uzbekistan is double-landlocked, so every routing involves at least one transit country. The established path is rail through Kazakhstan; the shorter but rougher alternative is road through Kyrgyzstan on the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan corridor via Irkeshtam. The planned CKU railway would change this materially, but today rail-via-Kazakhstan remains the dependable option.
