Export from Azerbaijan: Complete Guide for 2026

Introduction to Exporting from Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan has been making serious strides to increase non-oil exports in recent years. Agricultural products, chemical products, steel, and industrial equipment are among Azerbaijan's main export items. In 2026, the country's export potential is growing significantly.

Export Procedures: Step by Step

1. Check Product Export Eligibility

Some products require special permits for export, including strategic goods, controlled chemicals, and rare flora/fauna.

2. Prepare Export Documents

Required documents:

  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list
  • Certificate of Origin
  • Transport document (CMR/CIM/AWB/B/L)
  • Phytosanitary certificate (for food products)
  • Quality certificate (for applicable products)

3. Submit Customs Declaration

Azerbaijan uses the ASYCUDA electronic system for export customs declarations. Using a customs broker significantly speeds up this process.

4. VAT Refund

Export operations in Azerbaijan are taxed at 0% VAT. This allows exporters to reclaim paid VAT.
