E-Avisation System Trial at the Dorohusk Border Crossing
From May 11 to 15, a new electronic reservation system called e-Avisation is being tested at the Dorohusk checkpoint on the Polish-Ukrainian border. This system, which is mandatory for truck drivers leaving Poland, is managed and implemented by the Polish Customs and Tax Service. The trial aims to streamline departure procedures for heavy goods vehicles.
Reconstruction of the Yahodyn-Dorohusk Checkpoint
Located in Ukraine's Volyn region, the Yahodyn-Dorohusk checkpoint handles the largest volume of freight traffic in the country, processing around 680 trucks and 50 buses daily. A USAID-funded reconstruction project is underway to expand its capacity from 26 to 52 traffic lanes. The future launch of the Entry/Exit System (EES), scheduled for April 10, 2026, will also impact operations at all EU external border crossings.
In May 2026, Polish carriers blocked truck traffic at Yahodyn-Dorohusk. However, on May 13, the Lublin Court of Appeals prohibited the continuation of the blockade, leading to the resumption of freight movement. These events highlight the critical need for efficient border management systems, which directly affect regional business and economic stability.
The combination of the e-Avisation trial, the Yahodyn-Dorohusk reconstruction, and the upcoming EES implementation is expected to improve conditions at the Polish-Ukrainian border, boosting the efficiency of freight transport. By simplifying border procedures and reducing waiting times for truck drivers, these initiatives could enhance international trade and business operations between Poland and Ukraine. The modernization of the Yahodyn-Dorohusk checkpoint infrastructure is a key step toward handling the growing volume of cargo traffic in the years ahead.
As the e-Avisation system undergoes testing, it's crucial to consider the broader implications of ongoing border disruptions. Recently, significant traffic restrictions at the Medyka-Shehyni crossing due to road repairs have created challenges for freight movement. These developments underscore the importance of effective border management systems to mitigate delays and enhance trade efficiency.
