If you want to quickly cross the border (if there is a queue at Chernyayevka) then you are here, immediately prepare money, preferably for 1000 tenge. I only had 2,000 with me and of course they didn't have change))) to open the gate for two at 2000 tenge, to take another 2000 root, well, that's about it. Then the Uzbeks, they are handsome, they almost do not take money, they gave $ 1 for car washing and paid $ 2 to the cashier. I don't mind the money, well, make an economy tariff, business, etc. I paid and drove without waiting in line, so I didn't pay and just drove in, i.e. there's nothing. When I came to Kazakhstan through Chernyayevka, no one took a penny and did not give a hint. And here.... Well, they probably have a difficult financial situation, they are proud of the Uzbeks, neither there nor back, nor on the mecca for money. As I was told, corruption cannot be eradicated at this border, nothing has changed.
The most corrupt border crossing in the world! The Kazakhs have one customs officer, a Russian by nationality. Greedy for money. Using his official position, he tries to humiliate and provoke Russian drivers. A very strange character. Russian himself, but ***.
It took place in a passenger car in the direction from Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan. 2.5-3 hours passed. The Uzbeks did not torment much, they were correct, although they were not in a hurry to do their job.
The Kazakhs behaved very slowly and rather brazenly, especially at the last post, where the car is illuminated. The "enlightener" asked to treat him to dried fruits and even treated himself, although I did not give permission.
The entrance from Uzbekistan goes along some country roads, and this is also the time, on the side of Kazakhstan you immediately get on the highway
