Azerbaijan's Tariff (Price) Council has not made any changes to the gasoline's retail price regulated domestically, according a message from the council.
Currently the AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline cost 0.7 manats and 0.8 manats respectively.
At the same time, under the Cabinet of Ministers decision dated March 31 2014, the imported AI-95 and higher brand gasoline, meeting the environmental standards of Euro-5, are not included in the list of goods regulated by the state, according to the message.
Azerbaijani Cabinet of Ministers reduced the customs duties and excise rates for importing this gasoline at lower prices.
This makes it possible to import Premium Euro-95 and Super Euro-98 gasoline at low prices and selling them at free market prices.
