By order of the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan, the Absheron terminal holds more than two weeks of 350 tons of potatoes purchased in Russia by entrepreneurs V. Gasimov, E. Nadirov, I. Jafarov, E. Iskandarov and R. Umaev for sale in the country.
Outraged businessmen appealed to the head of state for assistance in resolving the situation.
A copy of the letter was sent to the editorial office of haqqin.az.
In a letter to the president of the country, entrepreneurs indicated that despite numerous requests to the Customs Committee, he did not give an official reason for the delay in cargo. Meanwhile, the goods without proper storage conditions can rot. In addition, a fine of 1500 manats per day is stipulated for the long-term maintenance of five wagons and one potato truck.
Entrepreneurs believe that the actions of the State Customs Committee are due to the monopolization of this sphere of trade. At the same time, they note, the head of the State Customs Committee Safar Mehdiyev has repeatedly stated that he will not allow the facts of a monopoly on certain goods and goods in his department, and if this is revealed, he will resign. It was these assurances, according to entrepreneurs, that convinced them that the rule of law prevails in customs and that you can safely carry out your business. “In the event of our bankruptcy, entrepreneurs stress, at least 150 people may lose a piece of bread.”
However, upon request don't get it.az The State Customs Committee gave an extremely clear answer on the legality of the claims of a group of entrepreneurs, substantiating in detail its actions to detain the specified cargo.
Citizens of Gasimov Vasif Ismail oglu, Nadirov Emin Soltan oglu, Jafarov Ilgar Judi, Iskandarov Elnur Zeynaddin and Umayev Royal Khasanaga oglu on December 23 of last year really imported potatoes from the Russian Federation. It follows from the documents submitted to the State Committee that the goods were imported by NB GROUP LLC. However, despite the fact that in the submitted documents NB GROUP is listed as an Azerbaijani company that legally passed all legal registration procedures, according to the decision of the 2nd Baku Administrative and Economic Court of December 21, 2018, this company illegally used the logo of another company - NB JSC GROUP, which caused her damage in the amount of 200 thousand manats. Moreover, having submitted false information to the State Committee, NB GROUP LLC tried to fraudulently smuggle 350 tons of potatoes into the country. In accordance with Article 58 of the Law on the Execution of Court Decisions, the employees of the State Customs Committee seized the goods of NB GROUP LLC.
Thus, the execution of the court's decision in no way means the creation by the State Customs Committee of conditions for monopolies. And representatives of NB GROUP LLC, before addressing accusations to high instances, should have solved their problems with justice, ”the State Customs Committee said.
