Route Ukraine — Slovakia

The international Ukraine - Slovakia route passes through Zakarpattia with the border crossing at Uzhhorod - Vysne Nemecke. The distance from Uzhhorod to Kosice is only 80 km, and to Bratislava is about 600 km. The total corridor from Kyiv to Slovak cities is approximately 1000 kilometers. Slovakia is a member of the EU and the Schengen Area, making it a gateway to Central Europe. Main goods from Ukraine: rolled metal, timber, grain, chemical products, and industrial goods. From Slovakia, cars (KIA, Volkswagen - Slovakia is a major car producer), electronics, spare parts, pharmaceuticals, and household appliances are transported. The proximity of Uzhhorod to Kosice makes cross-border trade intensive - numerous enterprises on both sides of the border have stable logistic ties. Slovak autobahns ensure fast transport of goods deeper into the EU. Customs clearance at the checkpoint requires the standard documents for crossing an EU border. Carriers must have CEMT permits or Slovak bilateral permits and meet Euro-5/6 environmental class requirements. CarGoPro provides carriers with the opportunity to find cargo in the Slovak direction - both export from Ukraine and import from Slovakia and transit from other EU countries. The tender system and return loading minimize empty runs on international trips.
