The problems during transporting Azerbaijani agricultural products to Russia have been resolved by agreement between the customs services of the two countries, reads the information of the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan. According to the same source, the reason for the delay of the production on the border of the Russian side became the suspicions that agricultural products are not produced in Azerbaijan, and are imported from third countries. After the talks of the head of the State Committee Aydin Aliyev with the leaders of the Russian customs I the issue was resolved. According to the agreement, the detained products in a short time will be sent to Russia. Currently on the Azerbaijani-Russian border stand idle dozens of trucks loaded with vegetables and fruits, waiting for admission. This problem arose after the Russian ban on the import of agricultural products from Turkey, and re-export of these products through third country. -03D-
