The Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (Middle Corridor) was established in February 2014 with the participation of the relevant structures of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Georgia. Later, Ukraine, Romania and Poland joined the project. Currently, the route starts from the China-Kazakhstan border and extends to Europe, passing through the territory of Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan and Georgia. A single tariff has been created along the entire route, the "single window" principle is applied.
