Azerbaijan is one of the most active used-car markets in the Caucasus, but it applies a 10-year age cap plus mandatory safety equipment. It sits on the Caspian, so cars arrive by sea to Baku or by rail through the Khorgos–Kazakhstan corridor.
| Age limit | Used cars must be no more than 10 years old (in force since 28 April 2023). Vehicles must be equipped with ABS and at least one airbag, and meet Euro 4 or higher. Tinted windows are prohibited. |
|---|---|
| Steering | Left-hand drive only for road use (right-hand drive is rejected at customs). |
| Import duty & taxes | Commonly cited at 15% customs duty for fuel vehicles, plus excise tax by engine displacement and 18% VAT. Recycling (scrap) fee: 400 AZN for vehicles 4–7 years old, 700 AZN for over 7 years. Electric vehicles have been exempt from import duty since 1 January 2019, and are VAT-exempt if no more than 3 years old; hybrids are VAT-exempt if no more than 3 years old and under 2,500 cc. |
| Main ports / entry | Sea to Baku and the Alat port on the Caspian; rail via Khorgos–Kazakhstan–Baku; overland via Georgia. Customs may auction vehicles if clearance is not completed within about 21 days of arrival. |
| Authority & certification | State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan; Ministry of Industry permits for distributors; pre-arrival ECTN declaration with VIN and specifications. |
| Required documents | Purchase agreement, vehicle technical passport, invoice and payment documents, transport documents, passport or ID. For EVs: UN38.3 battery test report and CCS2 charging port evidence. Embassy-legalised commercial invoice may be requested. |

EZ Auto is based in China (Zhengzhou, Henan) with 15–20 years in the country's car export trade. We export new and used Chinese vehicles to Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan through the Caspian and overland corridors, handling China export clearance and full documentation. Local import clearance is arranged by the buyer or a licensed broker; we provide all paperwork and per-country guidance. We do not operate local offices in the Caucasus — every car is sourced and inspected in China before shipment.
Real feedback from the importers we serve
I took a Zeekr 9X, a Geely Monjaro and a Deepal S05. Quality is up to standard, prices are fair, and the loading was done even faster than planned. All three cars arrived without a single hitch. Thanks to the EZ Auto team — we will be back. (Translated from Russian)
We received a Geely Galaxy M9 and a Changan CS55. Both cars are new, fully equipped, and everything matches what was agreed. The managers are always reachable and helped organise the delivery. We plan to expand our range together with EZ Auto. (Translated from Russian)
I ordered two vehicles from EZ Auto: a Jetour Dashing and a Jetour X70 Plus. The cars arrived as described and in very good condition. The team replies quickly and follows the file through to delivery. I will do business with them again. (Translated from French)
