In the near future, the Customs Service of Kazakhstan will totally accept at the Customs service point Dostyk the electronic declaration of freight without the need to provide paper transit

• declarations. This service has been developed

jointly with “NC “KTZ” JSC. It will make possible to reduce time for Customs clearance, increase the capacity of goods handling and minimize the costs for all parties involved in the foreign economic activity.

The station Dostyk is a transhipment border station which deals with the entire complex of operations

the State border, transhipment of goods due to gauge change, change of wheelsets of passenger and freight wagons of different gauges, making up compositions of trains from/to Kazakhstan and

The opening of the second railway border crossing point between Kazakhstan and China in 2012 played an important role for enhancing the trade and economic relations between Kazakhstan and China. During this time, modern infrastructure was built at both stations which enables to increase the capacity of the border crossing point. Measures are being taken to redirect container traffic flows from the international border crossing point Alashankou – Dostyk to Khorgos – Altynkol with handling in the dry port of the free economic area “Khorgos - Eastern Gateway” . On Kazakhstan’s side there are no problems regarding the interaction with the Customs service point. The Customs authorities of China are interested in enhancing the interaction.

The Specificity of organization of international rail services is as follows: railways

• f more than one country are involved in international railway transport. This

requires coordinated actions of the railways of neighbouring countries, taking into account unharmonized parameters of railways gauge of the countries of Western and Eastern Europe, the development of the normative base regulating the mutual relations of the railways of different countries. A large number of companies are involved in organization of passenger and freight traffic: infrastructure companies, wagon owners, carriers etc. Within the framework of organizational issues relating to the border crossing, first

• f all, the railway lines shall be defined to be used in international traffic as well as

the issues connected with the border security procedures by authorized control bodies, including the inspection of necessary documents. The terminal station shall be clearly specified in order to avoid the misuse of cargo during the transportation. In this regard, the control bodies have the ability to be in full control of the entire transportation process.

The cooperation aims at comparing technical and technological parameters in legal documents of EU and non-EU countries. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ERA and OSJD was signed in 2007. The MoU regulates the cooperation regarding the analyses of technical parameters of the EU and non-EU 1435 mm and 1520 mm rail systems. The analyses is limited to the technical and operational aspects of the railway system. Before 2015, the MoU between ERA and OSJD provided the development of a set of documents on analyzing the parameters for technical and operational compatibility of different subsystems within the 1520/1524 mm network on the EU-CIS border:

• Infrastructure (engineer structures and permanent way);
• Energy;
• Control Command and Signaling;
• Freight Wagons;
• Passenger Coaches;
• Locomotives and Multiple Units;
• Operation.
