Development of Foreign Trade And Customs Relations in the Republic of Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan, like all the union republics, when leaving the USSR, faced the problem of organizing an independent system of foreign economic relations with foreign countries. The most important condition for integration of Azerbaijan into the world economy was a exible policy in the choice of countries - trading partners, strengthening of cooperation with regional unions. As a result, Azerbaijan took a worthy place in many international organizations - the UN, the Organization for Economic Cooperation, the World Customs Organization, etc. The transition of the Azerbaijani economy to market relations necessitated a exible economic policy and the revival of the customs structure as an important tool for state regulation of foreign economic activity. Close bilateral relations have been established in the eld of customs control with many customs authorities of the CIS countries, Europe, Asia, America and Africa.
