The customs control procedure on the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway will be simplified, Turkish Minister for Trade and Customs Cenap Ascı told Trend.
“We will mutually exchange the information on cargo. The customs control results of one side will be recognized by other side. We do not plan to replace the carriages and unload the supplied goods under customs control procedure. This will significantly speed up the process of control.”
Ascı said that first of all, it is necessary to simplify the cargo transportation via BTK as they are the main objective of the project.
“Thanks to this project we will be able to transport cargo from Asia to Europe and vice versa. Therefore, it is important to simplify the customs procedures. But we will take measures to simplify the passport control procedures for passengers.”
Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway is being constructed on the basis of the Georgian-Azerbaijani-Turkish intergovernmental agreement.
