22 tankers carrying low-grade fuel returned to Iran
Afghanistan National Standards Authority (ANSA) in Islam Qala port in Herat Province on Thursday turned back 22 tankers carrying low-grade petrol and diesel from Iran.
ANSA said on twitter that authorities had ordered the tankers to return to Iran as the fuel failed to meet the required standards.
The standards authority recently stepped up efforts to ensure fuel being imported into the country met the minimum standards.
Since their drive to improve the quality of fuel brought into the country, ANSA has turned back dozens of tankers and has warned traders of legal action if they fail to abide by the rules.
