Shipping between Qatar and Azerbaijan requires careful planning, proper documentation, and compliance with customs regulations to ensure smooth transit and clearance. Yes2Qatar, a professional freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export paperwork is accurately prepared and processed, preventing potential shipping delays. Below is a detailed guide to the required documentation for shipping between these two countries.

Bill of Lading (Sea Freight) Air Waybill (Air Freight): These essential documents confirm shipment details, including cargo specifications, shipper and consignee details, and the chosen transport method. Yes2Qatar ensures that all shipping documents are correctly prepared to prevent transit disruptions.

Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) Number: If required, this tracking reference allows customs authorities to monitor shipments and streamline the clearance process.

For goods exported from Qatar, the following documents must be in place

Packing List: A breakdown of shipment details, including weight, dimensions, and packaging type, assisting customs officials in processing goods efficiently.

Certificate of Origin (CoO): This document verifies the country of manufacture and must be issued by the Qatar Chamber of Commerce. Yes2Qatar assists in obtaining and legalizing this certificate when required.

Export Declaration (Qatar): A mandatory submission to Qatari customs before the shipment departs. Yes2Qatar ensures smooth processing to prevent clearance issues.

Product Conformity Certificate (CoC) (If Required): Certain regulated products, such as medical equipment, industrial machinery, and electrical appliances, may require a CoC to confirm compliance with export regulations. Yes2Qatar provides guidance on whether this document is necessary.

Yes2Qatar does not handle customs clearance in Azerbaijan, so importers must ensure they have the necessary documentation for Azerbaijani customs authorities.

Customs Import Declaration: This document must be submitted to Azerbaijans customs authorities before the shipment can be cleared.

Declaration of Customs Value: A required document confirming the declared value of the shipment for taxation and customs duty assessment.

EAEU Certificate of Conformity (If Required): As Azerbaijan is a trading partner of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), certain imported goods may require certification to confirm compliance with EAEU quality standards.

Packing List: A detailed document outlining shipment specifications, including the number of packages, weight, and type of packaging, required for customs clearance.

Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) (If Required): Some shipments entering Azerbaijan may require a CTN for tracking purposes. Importers should verify whether this document is necessary.

Veterinary Certificate: Necessary for shipments containing animal-based goods to ensure they meet Azerbaijans import health standards.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) Azerbaijan: Some regulated imports, including used vehicles, industrial machinery, and certain food products, may require pre-shipment inspection before departure. Importers should confirm PSI requirements before shipping to avoid customs clearance delays.

Legalization of Documents: Some documents, such as the Commercial Invoice and Certificate of Origin, may need to be legalized by the Azerbaijani embassy or consulate before export. Yes2Qatar provides document legalization assistance for exporters in Qatar.

Labeling Requirements: Goods imported into Azerbaijan must be labeled correctly, including product names, manufacturer details, country of origin, and expiration dates for perishable goods. Yes2Qatar ensures compliance with these regulations before shipment.
