Hi John,
I'm planing a trip from Beijing over Kazakhstan ... to Berlin with a Chang Jiang and have problems to find information to organize the boarder crossing from China to Kazakhstan. Do you know if it's possible to turn up at the boarder and get an agent there? or can you recommand a good agent?
My other problem is, that my Chinese visa is running out 6 days after I'll reach the boarder. I guess if they don't let me into Kazakhstan with the bike I would have to leave it in China and enter Kazahstan without it..?!
I have chinese papers for my bike, chinese ensurance, numberplate, and driving license.. but still need an agent.
It would be great if you could send me some advice!
Best
Sophie
PS: Do you know how much those agents take for the crossing? What is a "bond"?

Did you get your docs via an agent?
Even so, I think you will be forced to engage an agent to do the import. They also levied a 5000RMB "bond" on the bike. Our agent paid this as we said we had no available money for it.
The customs procedure is very long winded and even though we had pre-arranged permits/license etc., it took 6 days!!
Best of luck and post an update when you get in!
John
