Azerbaijan’s State Customs Committee signed documents with the State Customs Committee of Belarus and the Directorate of Customs and Excise of Namibia’s Finance Ministry.

Aydin Aliyev, head of the Azerbaijani State Customs Committee, and Yuri Senko, chairman of the State Customs Committee of Belarus, signed a joint statement on cooperation in personnel training.

An agreement on mutual assistance in strengthening of potential of customs cooperation was signed between Aydin Aliyev and Susanna Cornelia Berkes, acting head of the Directorate of Customs and Excise of Namibia’s Finance Ministry.

The Azerbaijani customs chief also signed an agreement with Gosman Amrin, deputy chairman of the State Revenue Committee at the Kazakh Finance Ministry, on organization of primary exchange of information about transported goods and vehicles between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.

Another action plan was signed between Aliyev and Vladimir Shamakhov, head of the North-West Institute of Management of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.

The State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan created in 1992 is a governmental agency in charge of customs clearance for imports and exports, and regulation of all customs activities within Azerbaijan.

Establishment of the Committee helped accelerate the commodity turnover in the country and eased the import-export procedures.

 The forecast on transfers on customs duties and taxes has been set at 2.2 billion manats ($ 1.35 billion) for 2017, which is 21.5 percent more than the forecast for 2016.
