TLS-Cargo GmbH – Integrated Logistics Solutions for Groupage, Freight and Project Cargo to Central Asia

Transport Solutions to Central Asia – Groupage, Freight and Oversized Cargo from Germany, Switzerland and Across Europe

TLS-Cargo GmbH – High-performance project, freight and groupage logistics for Central Asia and key markets across Europe.

Central Asia is gaining increasing importance as a strategic economic and logistics hub between Europe and China. Companies from industry, energy, mechanical engineering, technology and trade require reliable transport solutions to a region where infrastructure conditions, customs regulations and transit routes demand advanced logistics expertise.

TLS-Cargo GmbH specializes in professional transport services from Germany, Switzerland and across Europe to all Central Asian countries:
  • Kazakhstan
  • Uzbekistan
  • Kyrgyzstan
  • Tajikistan

Together, these countries form the Central Asian region—a strategic growth market with rising import volumes, ongoing infrastructure projects and increasing demand for European machinery, industrial equipment, spare parts and technical goods.

As a Swiss freight forwarder with strong Eurasian expertise, we provide groupage transport (LTL), full truck loads (FTL), air freight, project logistics and oversized transport solutions to all Central Asian destinations—reliable, compliant and door-to-door.

1. Why Central Asia Is Becoming Increasingly Important for European Companies
Central Asia is developing into one of the most dynamic economic regions worldwide. Rich in natural resources, the region is investing heavily in energy, construction, infrastructure, digitalization and industrial production.

Key Import Hubs in Central Asia
  • Almaty & Astana (Kazakhstan)
  • Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara (Uzbekistan)
  • Bishkek & Osh (Kyrgyzstan)
  • Dushanbe & Khujand (Tajikistan)

For European exporters, this creates a stable and expanding market—but one that requires experienced logistics partners due to its complexity.

TLS-Cargo delivers fully integrated transport chains on these routes, tailored to the specific needs of industry, trade and mechanical engineering.

2. Groupage Transport (LTL) to Central Asia – Flexible, Efficient and Reliable
Not every shipment fills a complete truck or container. This is why groupage transport (LTL) is one of the most frequently used solutions for Central Asia.
  • Typical LTL Shipments from Europe
  • Machinery and spare parts
  • Electrical equipment and electronic modules
  • Pharmaceutical and medical technology products
  • Packaged industrial goods
  • Components for energy and construction projects
  • Automotive parts and workshop equipment
  • Commercial goods and B2B e-commerce shipments

Your Advantages
  • You pay only for the cargo space you use
  • Regular departures from Germany, Switzerland and across Europe
  • High flexibility in volumes and weights
  • Secure consolidation and documented handling
  • Transparent transit times
  • Professional customs and documentation management

LTL is an ideal solution for SMEs, large corporations and project-based customers alike.

3. FTL and Direct Transport – The Optimal Choice for Large Volumes
For machinery, serial deliveries, production batches or time-critical shipments, TLS-Cargo offers full truck load (FTL) and direct transport services.

Benefits
  • Fastest land transport solution
  • No reloading or consolidation
  • Maximum predictability of transit times
  • Ideal for temperature-sensitive or high-value cargo

Direct transports are widely used for mechanical engineering, automotive, heavy industry and wholesale logistics.

4. Oversized Transport and Project Logistics – When Transport Becomes Engineering

Many shipments to Central Asia are large, heavy or technically complex. The region imports extensive equipment for energy projects, industrial parks, pipelines, factories, refineries and construction projects.

TLS-Cargo specializes in oversized and out-of-gauge (OOG) transport to:
  • Kazakhstan
  • Uzbekistan
  • Kyrgyzstan
  • Tajikistan

Typical Project Cargo
  • Turbines and generators
  • Heavy machinery and production plants
  • Steel structures and modular units
  • Extra-long or extra-wide components
  • Tanks, boilers and transformers
  • Construction machinery and mining equipment

Our Project Logistics Services
  • Route surveys and technical feasibility studies
  • Permits and police escorts
  • Bridge and route assessments
  • Specialized vehicles (low-bed trailers, modular systems, SPMTs)
  • Multimodal transport concepts (road + sea + rail)
  • Coordination with local authorities and terminals

Cross-border transport through remote regions requires experience—we provide it.

5. Air Freight to Kazakhstan and Central Asia – Fast, Secure and Ideal for High-Value Cargo

When shipments must arrive quickly and safely, air freight is the optimal solution.

We provide air freight deliveries to:
  • Almaty (ALA)
  • Astana (NQZ)
  • Shymkent (CIT)
  • Tashkent (TAS)
  • Bishkek (FRU)
  • Dushanbe (DYU)
  • Ashgabat (ASB)

Best Suited for
  • Spare parts and emergency shipments
  • High-tech components
  • Pharmaceuticals and medical technology
  • E-commerce and sample shipments
  • High-value industrial goods

Transit times: typically 2–5 days door-to-door.

6. Customs and Documentation

Central Asian countries follow different customs regimes. Kazakhstan is part of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU); Uzbekistan is not.

We handle:
  • Document verification
  • Preparation of export documents
  • HS code validation
  • Transit documentation
  • Advice on certificates of origin
  • Customs clearance at destination

Documentation errors are the most common cause of delays—we eliminate this risk.

Conclusion: Central Asia Remains a Key Growth Market for European Exporters

Demand for European machinery, industrial equipment and technical components continues to rise. Companies exporting to Central Asia in 2026 need:
  • Precise planning
  • Accurate documentation
  • Secure transport corridors
  • Experienced logistics specialists

TLS-Cargo GmbH delivers this expertise—for all Central Asian markets.
