Export from Finland
A shipment to Azerbaijan leaves the EU, so it needs an export declaration. Send us the commercial invoice with HS code, value and Incoterm, the packing list, your EORI number and any export licence for dual-use goods. Because the EU watches for goods being re-exported to Russia, we check the HS code and end use before booking, and many sales contracts must include the “no re-export to Russia” clause.
Import in Azerbaijan
The consignee’s broker files the electronic import declaration with Azerbaijani customs. The consignee’s name, address and tax number (VÖEN) must match on the invoice and the waybill. Food, medicines, cosmetics and some technical goods need certificates or permits in Azerbaijan, and a certificate of origin is often requested. Tell us early, and we can arrange it in Finland.
Common problems on the Azerbaijan lane, and how we avoid them
- Different consignee details on the invoice and the waybill: clearance in Baku is delayed. We match them before booking.
- Missing certificate for regulated goods: the goods wait in customs. We ask the buyer to confirm in advance.
- Questions from Finnish Customs about end use: the export is held. We prepare the end-use information with you.
- Heavy cargo booked by air when road would do: the price is higher than needed. We compare air, road and sea-rail in the quote.
How it works
- Send the pickup address, destination, goods description with HS code, dimensions, weights and Incoterm.
- You get a price, routing and transit time by air and, for larger cargo, by land.
- We collect the goods and clear export in Finland.
- You get the AWB or other tracking number.
- Our partner clears import in Azerbaijan and delivers.
