Covering six hectares, the terminal is equipped with modern technology and features nearby amenities such as hotels, technical service points, and a parking lot capable of holding 350 trucks.
The opening of the border post coincides with the completion of the Kungrad-Beinee road, which is expected to boost foreign trade efficiency through Dovut-Ota.
Earlier this year, repairs at other customs posts, including Zhibek Zholy-Gishtkoprik and Kaplanbek-Navoi, are set to triple the cross-border capacity between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
