Everything would be fine, and the staff communicate politely and the inspection procedure itself is fast, but no one monitors the queue. The inspection was completed in 3 minutes, and there were 1.5 hours in line.
There are 2 queues, one for trucks, the other for cars, I do not know what is there for trucks, but at first the queue stood in 2 rows, then the number of rows increased to 4!!! It's just that the "smartest" and impatient drivers drove around the entire queue and wedged in just before the inspection point. After they were crammed into as many as 4 rows, some still continued to fart and drove along the way for trucks, and then wedged into 4 rows of cars closer to the beginning of their studies. If it weren't for the chaos with the queue, everyone would have passed the inspection in 30-35 minutes, and so, someone passed in 10 minutes, and someone stood for 2 hours. This is not right.
As such, there is no longer a customs post. There is a checkpoint Veselaya Voznesenka. They control the passage to the new territory and the return from the new territory. When we were driving towards Mariupol, the time took 1 minute to pass. On the way back 1.5 hours due to the large number of cars . The inspection and verification of documents took 10 minutes. So you can go safely.
It took an hour and a half to travel between the DPR and the Rostov region. On 07/9.24, the heat was 35 degrees Celsius. The customs officers were polite, but I did not expect that I would take so long on a weekday. When I went to Melitopol a month before and crossed the "border", there was no queue, showed my passport from the car and drove on
