On 7th of May, 2025 As part of its efforts to protect the environment and fulfill international commitments, the Turkmenistan Customs Service, in collaboration with the Ozone Center of the Ministry of Environment Protection of Turkmenistan, has conducted a specialized training course for new recruits on preventing the illicit trade of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
The sessions, held at the training facilities of the Arkadag Customs, provided new recruits with an understanding of the international standards and legislative frameworks governing the trade of ozone-depleting substances. Special emphasis was placed on methods for identifying and preventing illegal shipments of these harmful substances into Turkmenistan.

We are pleased that this course has provided a real platform for knowledge exchange and professional development," said the Head of the Turkmenistan Customs Service.
