In June, contraband with a total value of 4,830,558 manats was seized at the state border of Azerbaijan. The interception highlights ongoing efforts by national security forces to maintain border integrity and prevent illegal trade.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, this data was released in the monthly review by the State Border Service. The report specifies that the confiscated items included various pharmaceutical products, alcoholic beverages, and tobacco goods that were being transported into the country illegally.
The State Border Service of Azerbaijan plays a critical role in national security, tasked with protecting the country's borders and combating transnational crime. These seizures are part of broader, systematic measures implemented by the agency to ensure the security of the Republic of Azerbaijan and regulate the flow of goods across its frontiers.
