Polish and Lithuanian Trucks Banned from Entering Belarus for Over Two Years
The Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus has introduced a new road traffic restriction, detailed in a regulation published on November 1, 2025, on the National Legal Internet Portal (6-1/55394).
The regulation imposes a ban on the use of the territory of the Republic of Belarus by:
❌ Trucks and tractor units registered in EU member states,
❌ Trailers and semi-trailers registered in the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Lithuania,
❌ Passenger cars registered in Poland that carry out international transport operations under individual waybills or CMR documents.
The ban also applies to trailers and semi-trailers registered in Poland and Lithuania, even if they are hauled by tractor units from other countries. Violation of the ban concerning trailers/semi-trailers from Poland and Lithuania, as well as passenger cars from Poland, is regarded as performing international road transport within the territory of Belarus without the required permit and entails liability under administrative offense regulations.
In the event of violations, Belarusian authorities will direct vehicles to leave the country via the border with Russia or to the nearest customs checkpoint.
The regulation entered into force on the date of its publication and will remain in effect until December 31, 2027.
