As it had been reported earlier, Tajikistan and Russia signed a government-to-government agreement in 2013 providing for the duty-free import of around 1 million tons of Russian petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) annually, conditioned on a signed, annual indicative fuel balance, a prohibition on re-exporting these products to third countries, and potential supply suspension for violations.
