Ukraine's **eCherha** border booking system has put its new truck priority mechanism on hold. The operator announced on 18 July that additional technical work is required before testing can continue.

##### What carriers need to know:

- The new priority feature is **unavailable on 18 and 19 July**
- The system runs in **standard mode** — bookings and queue order follow the usual rules
- A new date for resuming the test will be announced separately

##### Perishable cargo priority is unaffected:

The existing priority for shipments of perishable goods continues to apply exactly as before. Drivers carrying such loads do not need to re-register or take any extra steps.

##### Practical advice:

- Plan your departure around your actual booking slot in the app, not around the expected new algorithm
- Check live congestion at your intended crossing point before heading to the border
- Keep cargo documentation ready if you are claiming perishable-goods priority

The priority test was [originally scheduled to begin on 17 July](https://nakordoni.eu/en/news/2026-07-16/echerha-truck-priority-test-starts-july-17), so the pause comes just one day into the trial.

###### 🇺🇦 Ukraine:

- 18-19 July: new functionality switched off across all eCherha-managed crossings
- Perishable cargo priority: remains in force
