Azerbaijan commissions "Khanoba" customs post

The official ceremony of commissioning the "Khanoba" customs post located on the Azerbaijan-Russia border has been held on March 17.

The ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexey Overchuk, Chairman of the Government of Russia’s Dagestan Republic Abdulmuslim Abdulmuslimov and other officials.

It is expected that the commissioning of the "Khanoba" customs post will make it possible to pass up to 1,000 additional trucks per day.

The decision to reconstruct the “Khanoba” customs post was made in order to reduce the throughput of the “Samur” customs post.
