The data in the customs statistics of Azerbaijan and Russia do not reflect the total trade turnover between the two countries, according to Aydin Aliyev. However, the problem of non-compliance of customs statistics between countries occurs worldwide, he said.
This document is intended to resolve this issue through the exchange of statistical data between Azerbaijan and Russia.
The visit of the head of the Federal Customs Service of Russia Andrey Belyaninov to Baku will last until February 5.
The trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Russia in 2014 amounted to $1.96 billion, $1.3 billion of which accounted for import to Azerbaijan from Russia, while $640.3 million accounted for export to Russia, according to the State Customs Committee.
