According to the memorandum, 486 containers were transported on the Azerbaijan-Turkey route, 204 on the Turkey-Azerbaijan route, and 176 on the China-Azerbaijan route, totaling 866 containers.

The import of baked carbon anode blocks, which are strategic raw materials of the aluminum industry, was carried out from China through the Middle Corridor and from Turkey through BTQ to Azerbaijan.
