As follows from the case file, on November 2, 2017, Scania vehicles were stopped by the Inspection staff. According to the International consignment note (CMR), the unnumbered vehicles were transporting bean cargo on the route Kyrgyz Republic - Republic of Iran. In paragraph 16 of the international consignment note, the carrier is listed as Company "K". Legal address: Mashhad, Republic of Iran. During the verification of the accompanying documents, the absence of an international permit form for this transportation for transit through the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan was revealed. There was only a permit form used for the transportation of goods on the route Republic of Iran - Republic of Kazakhstan (Almaty city), according to the international consignment note (CMR). In order to carry out transit travel with cargo on the route Republic of Kyrgyzstan - Republic of Iran, an additional permit form for transit travel through the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan was required. According to subparagraph 5) of paragraph 3 of the "Rules for the application of the licensing system of road transport in the Republic of Kazakhstan in international traffic", approved by the order of the acting Minister of Investment and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 353 dated March 27, 2015 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules), a domestic permit is a permit for travel through the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan by carriers of a foreign state in accordance with international treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan (universal permission for entry, exit and transit travel, as well as transportation from third countries to the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan or from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan to third countries).  Paragraphs 35, 36 of the Rules provide that domestic permits are issued to foreign carriers by the competent authorities of their states from among the permits exchanged for the corresponding year, and they are valid only for one trip. It should be noted that in a similar case of an administrative offense, the Company's complaint was dismissed by the judge of the same court, and the decision of the authorized body was left unchanged.
