Why Is Transport to Azerbaijan a Logistical Challenge?
Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Azerbaijan is a key point on the global logistics map. While international transport to this country is becoming more common, it still involves several challenges, such as:
- Lack of regular connections – Unlike transport within the EU, routes to Azerbaijan are less standardized.
- Complex customs procedures – Thorough verification of documents, clearances, and permits is required.
- Route selection – Carriers can travel via Russia, Turkey, or Georgia, each route having its own limitations.
- Long transit times – Transport to Azerbaijan can take up to two weeks, especially if border delays occur.
Despite these challenges, our logistics team took on the task and successfully organized a time-critical international transport in record time.
Time-Critical Transport to Azerbaijan – A Success Story
Unexpected Order and Swift Response
One Thursday in December, a long-term client contacted us with an urgent transport request. The goods had to leave within 24 hours—otherwise, the client would face significant losses. Thanks to our expertise in time-critical transport, we immediately knew which steps to take. We quickly assessed carrier availability, costs, and route options.
Choosing the Right Carrier
Our strategy relies on working with trusted carriers, which significantly reduces the risk of disruptions during transport. This time, we selected two different carriers:
- A Turkish carrier – Our long-standing partner with experience in Azerbaijan-bound routes.
- A Lithuanian carrier – A new contractor requiring detailed document verification and reference checks.
By using two different routes (via Turkey and via Russia), we minimized the risk of delays and ensured the goods were delivered on time.
Express Organization – The Key to Success
- Thursday – Client submits a request.
- Friday – Trucks are loaded and ready to depart.
- 11 days later – Goods delivered to the recipient in Azerbaijan.
Organizing an international time-critical transport in such a short period required full team mobilization. E
