BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 9. A new customs
mechanism aimed at improving international transport operations is
being developed in Azerbaijan, with plans to introduce an advanced
information system for cross-border shipments in 2026, Trend reports.
The regulatory and legal framework for the system is expected to
be finalized by the end of the year. The State Customs Committee of
Azerbaijan, in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital
Development and Transport, has been tasked with completing the
development of the necessary legal foundation by December 1,
2026.
This initiative is part of the "Trusted Partner Concept," which
was approved through a decree by President Ilham Aliyev. The
concept outlines a series of regulatory improvements for carriers
between 2026 and 2028, to facilitate faster transit of goods and
vehicles at border checkpoints and introduce more flexible customs
control mechanisms.
Additionally, the concept includes the integration of
pre-submitted data from carriers into the customs system, which is
anticipated to significantly enhance the efficiency of
international transport operations and streamline cross-border
logistics.
