TEHRAN (Iran News) – Trucks from Iran that export commercial cargo to the Republic of Azerbaijan can transship their cargo at the campus of customs to Azeri trucks without entering into Azerbaijan land, said Spokesman of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration.

According to the president of Azerbaijan’s Bilesavar Customs, Iranian transporters of commercial cargo to the Republic of Azerbaijan can transship and deliver their cargo to Azeri trucks without entering the Azerbaijan land until further notice, Rouhollah Latifi said on Thursday.

After delivering their cargoes to Azeri side, Iran export trucks can return to the country, he said, adding, “Iranian trucks carrying commercial cargoes which intend to cross Azerbaijan to Russia are exception to this rule and can transport their cargoes to Russia via Azerbaijan’s land without considering the declared restrictions.”

Concerns over the new coronavirus outbreak have made many Iranian neighboring countries close borders or set strict limitations and standards for passengers and trucks.

Earlier, Azerbaijan’s embassy in Tehran announced on Saturday that the country’s borders with Iran are temporarily closed for two weeks, as of February 29, due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

The embassy added that the two sides’ nationals will return to their homelands under control and mutual cooperation between the Iranian and Azeri governments.

Azerbaijan also noted that it will issue visas in urgent and specific cases if required.
