(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 21. President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has signed a law on amending the "Regulation on Service in Customs Authorities", which was approved on December 7, 1999, Trend reports.

The updated law stipulates coverage of the costs for relocating customs officials and their families to a new place of service, including the transportation of their belongings and a one-time compensation, by the funds specified in Article 334.1 of the Customs Code (funds coming from the sale of goods and vehicles transferred to state ownership based on court decisions on crimes detected by customs authorities in the field of customs affairs, administrative offenses against customs rules, fines, and customs payments), and in accordance with Articles 224.1.5 (customs fees) and 224.1.6 (payments) of the Customs Code, transferred to the account of the executive authority responsible for customs affairs as stipulated by the relevant executive authority.
