Imports of AI-92 gasoline are temporarily exempt from customs duties. The decision was made by the Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan.

Earlier, the customs duty rate for AI-92 gasoline was 15 percent.

By another decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, the excise rate on AI-92 gasoline imports has been reduced from 200 manats per ton to one manat.

Both decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers will not apply to aviation gasoline.
