Noting that the control system is being strengthened, the official added that the activities of the customs authorities are being synchronized with those of other relevant state institutions.

"The activities to be implemented in this direction will augment the efficiency of combating customs offenses, the organization of initial information exchange about goods and vehicles with customs authorities of other countries will prevent attempts dodging paying customs duties and taxes," Guliyev highlighted.
