These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of trucks at Chop (Tysa) typically slows for 20–60 minutes. To minimize wait, plan to cross **30+ minutes before or 60+ minutes after** the approximate shift change. Check the live queue above for current status. At the neighboring Hungary checkpoint the border-guard shift change happens at the same local times, but Hungary is on Central European Time — one hour behind Kyiv — so there it falls around **07:00 and 19:00 Kyiv time**. Because the two shifts overlap, the slowdown stretches into wider windows on both sides: **roughly 07:00–08:30 in the morning and 19:00–20:30 in the evening** (Kyiv time). During these intervals, processing on both sides can noticeably slow down. ## Queue Chart: Today & Yesterday ### Queue at checkpoint for the last 24 hours Real Data Increased Load [**When is the best time to go?** Load statistics by day and hour](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_266/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Chop (Tysa) - cargo transport checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 30.08.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Chop (Tysa) - cargo transport checkpoint, the following key moments were recorded: **Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00):** No data for Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00). **Afternoon (12:00 - 18:00):** No data for Afternoon (12:00 - 18:00). **Evening hours (18:00 - 24:00):** No data for Evening hours (18:00 - 24:00). **Night hours (00:00 - 06:00):** No data for Night hours (00:00 - 06:00). #### Chart for Yesterday and the Day Before ### Recommendations No data for Plan your trips in advance using up-to-date border queue information at the Chop (Tysa) - cargo transport checkpoint to make your crossing fast and convenient.
