The growth of imports from the United States is one of the most active trends among the population of Azerbaijan. Both entrepreneurs and individuals take advantage of this opportunity, preferring the benefits of shopping in the American market. It is important to understand that delivery to Azerbaijan must comply with current legal regulations. To avoid risks and violations, it is best to entrust transportation to an experienced partner. The international logistics company TRT Express provides full-cycle cargo transportation services. We not only organize transportation but also provide customs support.
Organizing a shipment can be difficult for those not involved in logistics. We have simplified the process as much as possible, making it clear and accessible. If you’re planning a shipment to Azerbaijan from the United States, follow these steps:
- place an order or send a parcel to our warehouse address;
- select the transport method and fare;
- pay for services.
We handle all subsequent paperwork, cargo handling, and transportation arrangements. Parcels from the USA are delivered within the agreed-upon timeframe and in compliance with current regulations.
The import of goods from abroad is regulated by current legislation. Individuals are subject to a monthly duty-free limit on the total value of parcels when importing goods into the country. If this limit is exceeded, a duty must be paid. The amount depends on the type of goods and their value.
TRT Express provides customs assistance to clients, prepares documents, and assists with declarations when necessary. Our extensive experience and knowledge of legal regulations help avoid delays.
Not all types of cargo are permitted for import into the Republic of Azerbaijan. The ban applies to:
- psychotropic and narcotic substances;
- explosive and flammable substances;
- historical artifacts and cultural valuables (if no permission is granted);
- plant seeds;
- perishable products.
Lithium batteries also have restrictions. They must be specially marked and in good working order. Defective or damaged lithium batteries and devices containing them are prohibited from shipping. Furthermore, if air transportation is planned, devices must not contain more than two batteries or four Li-ion batteries.
To ensure your shipment arrives safely and undamaged, it must be properly packaged. It’s best to use new cardboard boxes made of multi-layered pressed material, as they are more wear-resistant. Items should be placed closer to the center, and any empty spaces should be filled with paper or bubble wrap. Seams should be sealed with wide tape.
TRT Express also offers additional packaging services. To minimize risks to your parcel, you can order packaging from our warehouse. Our staff will securely pack your items to reduce their size, making parcel delivery to Azerbaijan more affordable.
Large and oversized cargo is additionally secured in crates to prevent damage during handling. For bulk shipments, palletizing is used.
The price for international shipping depends primarily on the dimensions of the parcel, its weight (actual and volumetric), and the selected type of transport.
The cheapest method of transportation is sea freight. However, sea freight can accommodate oversized and heavy cargo.
Air transport is more expensive, but its advantage is speed.
The waiting period depends on the type of transport. The fastest method is air freight, which takes 5 to 10 days. Shipping by sea to Azerbaijan takes longer – 4 to 7 weeks – but this method is more affordable and suitable for large parcels.
