Navigation seals: what to check when transiting cars and cargo on open platforms

On 5 November 2026, Kazakhstan’s State Revenue Committee clarified the use of navigation seals for transit shipments of passenger cars driven under their own power and goods carried on open vehicle platforms that are not loose bulk cargo, including cars on car transporters.

If a shipment does not fall within the exemptions under EEC Council Decision No. 71 of 9 July 2026, the absence of a designated attachment point does not remove the requirement to use a seal.

Before dispatch, we recommend checking the requirements for the specific cargo and route and arranging how the seal will be installed.
