The documents are aimed at further strengthening cooperation between the two countries.

Among the signed documents, particular importance is attached to the Technical Conditions for the Exchange of Advance Information on Goods, as well as the Protocol on Cooperation in the Field of Customs Statistics of Mutual Trade. These agreements establish a solid foundation for deepening interaction between the customs authorities of Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan.

The implementation of the Technical Conditions will enable the establishment of an efficient and systematic mechanism for the exchange of advance information on goods, which will contribute to the acceleration of customs procedures, reduction of cargo clearance time, and enhancement of transparency in foreign trade operations.
