Azerbaijan Customs conceals the declared price of new cars
Over seven months of this year 49,537 units of vehicles were imported to Azerbaijan. Passenger cars comprise 86% of imports, according to the State Customs Committee.)
From the beginning, 42,784 units of passenger cars were registered according to the principle of "single window". In August the State Customs Committee again changed the reporting format on the volume of imports of motor vehicles. The SCC reported the total number of imported vehicles without classification - new and second hand.
Till 2011 the State Customs Committee provided information on new and used cars separately. From January 2011 to June of this year, only information about used cars , registered on the customs pay-in slips, was presented. According to these documents, in the first half of this year 18,866 used cars were delivered to the country.
A number of experts have come to opinion that the lack of information on the declared customs prices of new cars is intended to hide the size of valuing them. According to official data, in 2010 the new cars were declared at the price 9513, i.e. the price of used cars. This approach allows customs officials to put in its pocket the difference between the declared and the actual price of the car.
According to the SCC, the total declared value of cars amounted to $ 421.2 million. It is equal to 7.9% of total imports in January-July this year. One car was declared at the Customs at the price of $ 9845. In addition, since the beginning of the year 635 units of buses and minibuses, at total declared value of $ 36 million, were brought to the country.
According to the committee, over the past period of the year, 97 Chinese cars, that were assembled in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan. --08B-
