State Customs Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan

Professor Aydin Aliyev, Chairman

Customs Service is a very important and necessary institution for each country. At the same time, for the better

organization of economic and trade relations between the countries, customs bodies should support each other,

exchange views and consult.

Customs service is one of the main attributes of every state.
