Belarus → Poland is the highest-pressure border for transit out of Belarus, but it has been severely constrained since 2021. Only Brest–Terespol (passenger cars) and a small number of cargo crossings still process civilian traffic. Belarusian customs and Polish Straż Graniczna both apply enhanced screening. Queues fluctuate sharply with sanctions enforcement and seasonal cargo flow.
