Capital: Baku

Overview

Azerbaijan (ISO code: AZ) is located in the South Caucasus, bordering Russia to the north, Georgia and Armenia to the west, Iran to the south, and the Caspian Sea to the east. The country is a presidential republic with stable state institutions and growing economic significance in the region. The climate ranges from subtropical by the Caspian Sea to continental inland, with hot summers and mild to cold winters. Economically, Azerbaijan is heavily reliant on oil and gas exports, complemented by agriculture, mining, machinery manufacturing, and services. Foreign trade focuses on energy exports to Europe and Asia, while the country is heavily dependent on foreign supplies for machinery, consumer goods, and technology imports. Azerbaijan plays a strategic transit role in the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea, particularly through pipelines and the port of Baku. The national currency is the Azerbaijani Manat (AZN), which regulates domestic payments. The logistics infrastructure includes modern ports, road and railway connections that support the export of oil, gas, and industrial products. Its geographical location between Europe and Asia makes Azerbaijan an important hub for energy, trade, and regional transport routes.

Customs / Import / Export (Asia)

Quick operational overview for international shipments to Asia. Product requirements, certificates, and clearance processes can vary significantly by destination.

Documents (typical)
  • Commercial invoice (description, value, Incoterms)
  • Packing list (weights, dimensions, packages)
  • HS code / tariff classification
  • Proof of origin / preference docs (where relevant)
  • Depending on goods: certificates/compliance documents
Process (simplified)
  • Prepare export + complete documentation
  • Import clearance (broker/agent, potential inspections)
  • Release, duties/taxes, and delivery
Common pitfalls
  • Missing product/certificate requirements → delays
  • Misaligned HS code/classification → wrong charges
  • Incoterms/responsibility unclear → cost disputes
  • Inconsistent documents (invoice vs packing list)
Important: Requirements depend on goods, origin, Incoterms, value, and consignee. When in doubt, confirm with your broker/forwarder and official sources.
