US Garden Partner company has been fined $18,300 for illegally
transporting cargoes to Armenia through Azerbaijan, according to
Deputy Chairman of the State Customs Committee.

Aydin Aliyev said that 1,967 tons of fuel was confiscated from US
Carroll, Anna Busa, Burgana and ZZI International companies that
transported transit cargoes to Armenia as well.

Aliyev noted that Georgia’s Sakhnud Gas company was also responsible
for transporting cargoes to Armenia via Azerbaijan.

Investigation is under way into such violations by the mentioned
companies, he added.

Transportation of consignments to Armenia through Azerbaijani territory
was banned by the government, as Azerbaijan is currently at a state
of war with this country.
