How it works

01

02
Ocean shipping
The car ships in a container to Poti or Batumi port from Savannah, Houston or Los Angeles. Typically 3–5 weeks at sea.
03
Transit through Georgia
The car is not released into free circulation in Georgia. No Georgian excise or VAT. We prepare the transit/re-export paperwork.
04
Handover in Poti or Batumi
We hand the car to you or your carrier. Then by car carrier via the Red Bridge into Azerbaijan. Customs clearance in Azerbaijan.

Cars from America to Azerbaijan: why via Georgia

For US cars, Georgia is Azerbaijan's nearest gateway to the sea: from Poti or Batumi to the border is a single country by road. According to Geostat, more than 4,000 cars were re-exported from Georgia to Azerbaijan in January–September 2026.

A car bound for Azerbaijan is not cleared through customs in Georgia — no Georgian excise or VAT. Clearance happens in Azerbaijan. Important: Azerbaijan's land border is closed to passengers, so the car travels only on a car carrier via the Red Bridge.

For buyers from Baku, Ganja, Sumgait and other cities

We buy cars to order on Copart and IAAI and hand them over in Poti or Batumi. A carrier then takes the car to Azerbaijan on a car carrier — via the Red Bridge on the Tbilisi — Baku highway. For buyers from Ganja and the west of the country the route is shortest; a US car heading to Baku, Sumgait or Mingachevir then continues east. Confirm the clearance point with the carrier.

How much does it cost to ship a car from the USA to Azerbaijan: what the price is made of

There is no fixed price: the total depends on the lot, the auction and the payments in Azerbaijan. We do not publish prices — they go out of date quickly. The final cost consists of:

  • The lot price at auction and the auction fee.
  • Delivery from the yard to a US port.
  • Ocean shipping to Poti or Batumi.
  • Georgian transit documents.
  • Car carrier delivery from Georgia to Azerbaijan.
  • Customs clearance in Azerbaijan (duty and excise by engine size, VAT, fees) and registration.

Which US car to choose for Azerbaijan

Cars older than 10 years cannot be imported, and since 2026 excise is higher for cars over 7 years — so the best choice is a car up to 7 years old by manufacture date. Duty and excise depend on engine size: the smaller the engine, the cheaper the clearance. Electric cars and hybrids up to 3 years old get benefits. Good fits for these conditions: Toyota Camry and Corolla, Hyundai Elantra and Tucson, Kia Sportage, the hybrid Toyota Prius and RAV4 Hybrid, as well as the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq.
