High Directorate of Emirate Companies Warns 17 Petroleum Firms Over Import Violations
KABUL (Afghan Verified) — The High Directorate of Emirate Companies has issued a warning to the private sector and traders in the petroleum products sector, stating that 17 companies will face no future commercial interactions or contracts due to violations of applicable laws and incomplete customs procedures for petroleum cargoes.
The affected companies include Farid Ahmad Ghaznawi, Aref Aziz Farahi, Ariana Holding, Shakur Hamdard, Mohammad Naim Noorzai, Taban Zarang, Baradaran Watanal, Khalid Mazamil and others, totaling 17 firms.
