BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 11. The State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan has launched a new online service, Trend reports.
The service called ‘Personal account’ will allow entrepreneurs to make customs payments and settlements on declarations via a single platform.
Head of the committee’s secretariat Asgar Mammadov commenting on the issue said that a number of new programs and projects are planned to be implemented in the future.
