Azerbaijan's State Customs Committee (SCC) will prepare and implement strategic plans and programs to perform tasks assigned to the customs authorities within the concept of 'Azerbaijan 2020: A Look Into The Future', SCC Chairman, Aydin Aliyev, told Trend news agency on Friday.
"The concept provides for the expansion of electronic customs services for participants of foreign trade, the continuation of the process of improving customs legislation in accordance with international norms and practices and adjusting customs regulations and control methods in accordance with global standards through adopting a more flexible customs policy," Aliyev said.
