Baku is the capital and largest city in Azerbaijan. It is situated on the shore of the Absheron Peninsula and is the nation's industrial, scientific, and cultural center, as many companies have their headquarters here.

Procedures for import of vehicles
Baku's importation and road network have been upgraded during the past decade thanks to the city's oil growth. The city's roads are in good condition, making travel a breeze. Drive your vehicle to the closest U.S. port or arrange for one of our agents to pick it up from you.

Importation rules in Azerbaijan
Certain requirements need to be fulfilled as per the Motor Vehicle regulations in the Azerbaijan Customs Office. Some of these include:
- If you are in Baku or any other city for a long-term but not permanent basis, you are only allowed to have your personal vehicle for a maximum of two years. The customs authority will give you a valid one-year license, which can be renewed for the next year.
- For temporary usage of vehicles, there are no taxes
- You can only import one car for the whole family
- If all taxes and fees have been cleared, you can sell the vehicle
- Cars/vehicles with tinted windows are not allowed. It would be best if you changed the windows or removed the decal before shipping.
- Bill of sale and title deed of the vehicles
Additionally, some of the documents that are needed for shipping include:
- Social security number and card
- Driving license
- Original car title
- Bill of Lading
- Bill of sale
Methods of Transport
Although there are three shipping methods, two of these include ocean-bound vessels, while the other is air shipping. The common method is delivering the vehicle by sea, as air transportation is exorbitantly expensive. The common methods are:
- RORO: Roll-on/Roll-Off, which includes driving the car to the ship deck, where it is harnessed and secured for the trip. It is driven off at Baku. You cannot keep any personal belongings in it.
- Container shipping: It is more personalized, and apart from your car, you can pack your personal belongings in enclosed containers that measure 20 feet or forty feet. It is good for luxury or vintage vehicles that need protection from the elements of nature.
