Sanctions-sensitive cargo takes the Caspian Sea corridor, transiting through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea ferry, the Caucasus, and Turkey into Europe, then distributed from Europe to the UK in 15 to 20 days, bypassing Russia. TIR vehicles operate on a single through-carriage basis with no transshipment.
