BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 6. Control over the compliance of non-food consumer goods imported into Azerbaijan with safety requirements is planned to be strengthened.
This is reflected in the amendments to the Customs Code approved by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. The document text has been published on his official website.
According to the amendment, when goods to which technical regulations and referenced standards are applied are imported into the country, documents confirming their compliance with safety requirements - a certificate of conformity, a declaration of conformity, or documents of conformity of recognized foreign origin - must be submitted to the customs authorities.
According to the document, customs officers are authorized to check whether imported goods are accompanied by the specified documents of conformity.
The law applies to goods imported 2 years after the entry into force of both technical regulations and referenced standards.
This law shall enter into force 30 days after the date of its publication.
