June 25, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijan is preparing to join a new computerized transit system used by European Union member states and several other countries.

ABC.AZ informs that Chairman of the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan, Colonel General of the Customs Service Shahin Baghirov, said this in a joint interview with Report News Agency and Azerbaijan Public Television.

Baghirov noted that Azerbaijan has already acceded to several international conventions in the field of road transport.

"We continue our work in this direction and, based on international standards, seek to expand our country's transit capabilities, create conditions for the free movement of goods, reduce clearance times, and conduct inspections based on a risk-oriented approach," he said.

Baghirov added that efforts are also underway to introduce new instruments that meet modern requirements.

"We are working on joining the New Computerized Transit System (NCTS), which is used by all 27 EU member states and, overall, by 39 countries. We are on the verge of acceding to two conventions – the Convention on a Common Transit Procedure and the Convention on the Simplification of Formalities in Trade in Goods," Baghirov stated.
