Belarus TIR: Gateway to the Eurasian Economic Union – LHZ Trucking's Strategic Corridor Serving Belarus Auto Imports

Belarus serves as the western gateway to the Eurasian Economic Union and a strategic bridgehead for Chinese automotive brands entering the Union's unified market of 180 million people. In 2025, Belarus's automotive market grew 14% to 158,700 units. BELGEE led the market with 22,830 units sold, capturing approximately 30% of new car sales. In August 2025, BELGEE's market share reached 54.4%. Among foreign cars imported from outside the EAEU, Chinese-made vehicles increased from 15.6% to 23%. Chinese brands have evolved from market participants to the dominant force.

The deep penetration of Chinese automotive brands in Belarus places higher demands on cross-border logistics in terms of transit time, stability, and customs clearance capability. Positioned at the crossroads between Europe and the EAEU, Belarus hosts the Brest checkpoint, the EAEU's largest western land port, serving as a critical hub for cargo movement between the Union and Europe. Within this geopolitical context, TIR truck direct transport, with its "single carnet, no transshipment" advantage, has become the core logistics solution for Chinese automobile exports to Belarus and onward to European markets.

LHZ Trucking Belarus TIR Express leverages the Group's fleet of 1,500 TIR vehicles, including 300 Kazakhstan-plated specialized car carriers, each capable of loading 8 passenger vehicles, providing TIR truck direct services from Khorgos through Kazakhstan and Russia to all of Belarus, with a total transit time of 12 to 15 days covering major cities including Minsk and Brest.

In terms of route design, the Belarus TIR Express uses the Khorgos port as its exit point, transiting through Kazakhstan and Russia directly to Belarus, with a single TIR carnet throughout and no transshipment, significantly reducing cargo damage risks and transit time. The Brest checkpoint serves as one of LHZ Trucking's six key hubs, functioning not only as the primary gateway for goods entering Belarus but also as a European distribution hub radiating into Poland and EU markets.

In terms of capacity allocation, LHZ Trucking's vehicle distribution covers six countries: China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, and Germany, all holding local license plates, enabling flexible cross-border multimodal transport coordination. Beyond specialized car carrier transport for finished vehicles, the Belarus TIR Express also provides cross-border transport services for construction machinery, auto parts, bulk materials, and other cargo categories, meeting Belarus's growing infrastructure and manufacturing demands.

In customs clearance and delivery, as an EAEU member state, Belarus enforces a unified EAC certification system for imported vehicles, requiring compliance with Technical Regulation TR CU 018/2011. EAC certification obtained in Belarus is mutually recognized across all EAEU member states without repeated certification. LHZ Trucking provides Belarus import customs clearance agency services, covering EAC certification consulting, documentation review, tariff calculation, and customs declaration support. Destinations cover major cities including Minsk, Brest, and Gomel, with door-to-door delivery available, and can further radiate into Poland and EU markets via the Brest hub.

The LHZ Auto Belarus site (www.lhzauto.by) has been officially launched, focusing on B2B complete vehicle exports and wholesale. LHZ Trucking Belarus TIR Express forms a deep "logistics + trade" synergy with it – the automotive trade team handles vehicle sourcing and demand matching, while the logistics team provides TIR direct transport and destination customs clearance delivery, together offering clients a one-stop solution from vehicle sourcing to delivery.
