Core Service: From Hong Kong to Baku Air Freight (China Import and Export)
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is one of the world's top air cargo hubs, with advanced cargo handling facilities, efficient customs clearance processes and dense international flight networks. It is an ideal departure port for made-in-China goods exported to Azerbaijan and Caspian Sea regional markets, as it can quickly connect to major cities in the Pearl River Delta and global destinations. Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is the largest and most important air cargo hub in Azerbaijan, serving as the core air transport gateway for the country's capital and Caspian Sea energy-rich regions. It radiates markets with a strong demand for energy exploration equipment, infrastructure construction materials and electronic products, and plays a vital role in Azerbaijan's foreign trade and energy industry development. As China and Azerbaijan have maintained stable strategic cooperative relations for many years, bilateral trade volume reached 11.2 billion US dollars in 2024, with China's exports accounting for over 52% of the total trade volume. Baku, as Azerbaijan's political, economic and cultural center, accounts for more than 70% of Azerbaijan's total imports, creating a broad market space for air freight services between Hong Kong and Baku.
Targeting the Hong Kong-Baku air freight route, we provide comprehensive air cargo services, including general cargo transportation, consolidated air freight (LCL), special cargo transportation (dangerous goods, fragile goods, perishables, oil and gas equipment, precision mechanical parts, electronic devices) and door-to-door one-stop services. According to the 2026 air freight market trend and the characteristics of China-Azerbaijan trade, the demand for air transportation of Chinese-made oil and gas equipment, mechanical parts, electronic devices and construction materials to Baku will remain strong, driven by Azerbaijan's energy industry upgrading, oilfield maintenance projects, urban infrastructure construction and regional economic cooperation. Relying on our resource advantages and professional service capabilities, we can provide customers with more cost-effective freight solutions while ensuring service quality, helping Chinese enterprises seize the Baku market opportunity.

The actual price will be affected by factors such as fuel surcharge (FUEL), security surcharge (SEC), commodity type (especially oil and gas equipment, mechanical parts and electronic devices) and seasonal fluctuations (such as Baku's oilfield construction peak seasons, Chinese Spring Festival and local holidays). We promise transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and provide customers with detailed cost breakdowns.

For consolidated air freight (LCL) and special cargo, the transit time is 9-11 days. We will select the most stable and efficient flight combinations for customers according to their delivery time requirements and cargo types, ensuring that goods arrive in Baku on time to meet the needs of China-Azerbaijan trade.

Our Core Advantages: Best Services, Cheapest Prices, Fast Delivery
Against the background of the 2026 air freight market's focus on "operation quality" and "efficiency improvement" and the continuous deepening of China-Azerbaijan trade cooperation (especially Baku's energy and industrial vitality), Betterluck Shipping has formed obvious competitive advantages by relying on professional capabilities and resource accumulation, and firmly fulfills the three core commitments to customers engaged in Hong Kong-Baku air freight business:
1. Cheapest Prices with Transparent Charging
Relying on long-term strategic cooperation with top airlines (Turkish Airlines, AZAL, etc.) and large air cargo volume on the Hong Kong-Baku route (annual cargo volume exceeds 9,500 tons for Chinese export goods to Baku), we obtain first-hand preferential freight rates, which are 15%-28% lower than the market average for Baku trade clients. In response to the 2026 market characteristic of "stable freight rates with seasonal fluctuations", we optimize cost control through systematic management and in-depth cooperation with local logistics partners in Baku (including airport logistics, inland distribution and Baku Industrial Park services), and promise no hidden fees. All fees (air freight, handling fees, surcharges, etc.) are clearly listed in the quote, and a detailed cost breakdown is provided to ensure that customers can clearly understand every expenditure.
2. Fast Delivery with Stable Schedules
We optimize the air freight route based on the latest flight information of cooperative airlines and the actual operation situation of Heydar Aliyev International Airport, and give priority to high-efficiency transit combinations to shorten the transit time. We cooperate with airlines with stable schedules (Turkish Airlines, AZAL) to ensure that goods are shipped on time and arrive at Baku International Airport as scheduled. For urgent goods such as oilfield emergency parts, electronic components and emergency construction materials, we coordinate with airlines to arrange priority loading and unloading and fast transit procedures, and the shortest transit time can reach 6 days. In case of flight delays, bad weather and other unexpected situations, we will adjust the flight plan in a timely manner and inform customers immediately to minimize the impact on delivery time.

5. Reliable Customs Clearance Guarantee (Baku Focus)
Customs clearance is a key link in international air freight, especially for Baku—a core energy and industrial city with standardized customs supervision in Azerbaijan. We have in-depth cooperation with professional customs clearance agents in Hong Kong and Baku, and are familiar with Baku's customs regulations and 2026 latest policy requirements (including Baku Industrial Park preferential policies and AZS certification mandatory requirements). We will remind customers to prepare all necessary documents in advance and guide customers to correctly classify goods HS codes to avoid customs clearance delays and fines caused by incomplete documents or incorrect classification. For special commodities that require certification (such as electronic devices, mechanical equipment and food), we provide professional certification guidance (such as AZS certification, quality inspection certification) to ensure smooth customs clearance, helping customers save time and cost.

Baku Airport & Industrial Park Customs Clearance Key Notes
Heydar Aliyev International Airport (Baku) and Baku Industrial Park are core customs clearance hubs of Azerbaijan, and their customs clearance follows Azerbaijan's national customs law, Industrial Park Management Law, relevant international trade norms and China-Azerbaijan strategic partnership cooperation agreements. Azerbaijani customs is known for its standardization and strict supervision of energy and industrial goods, and the key points that need special attention are as follows:
Document Consistency: Ensure that the information on the packing list, proforma invoice, air waybill, certificate of origin and product certification documents is completely consistent, and there is no contradiction or error. Baku customs will strictly check the consistency of documents (especially for oil and gas equipment, mechanical parts and electronic devices), and any inconsistency may lead to cargo detention and fines of 10%-30% of the goods value.
HS Code Classification: Correctly classify the HS code of goods according to Azerbaijan's customs coding standards (consistent with Eurasian Economic Union standards). For oil and gas equipment, mechanical parts and electronic devices, Baku customs has special classification guidelines; incorrect classification may lead to long-term customs clearance delays and heavy fines.
Tariff Policy: Provide valid Certificate of Origin (Form A) to enjoy preferential tariffs between China and Azerbaijan. The average tariff rate for industrial products (electronic devices, mechanical equipment, auto spare parts, etc.) is 5.0%, 12% for agricultural products, and 3% for energy equipment and construction materials imported for oilfield projects and infrastructure construction. Goods entering Baku Industrial Park can enjoy corporate tax and import tariff exemption policies with relevant certificates issued by Azerbaijani authorities.
VAT Payment: The standard VAT rate in Azerbaijan is 18%. For all imported goods (excluding those enjoying exemption policies), VAT must be paid before customs clearance. For goods entering industrial parks, VAT payment can be deferred until the goods are transferred out of the industrial park. For goods involved in China-Azerbaijan joint oilfield projects and infrastructure projects, VAT exemption can be applied with relevant approval documents.
Product Certification: Commodities entering Baku must meet local and Azerbaijani national certification requirements: Electrical and electronic devices need AZS certification and national quality inspection certificate; Mechanical equipment and oil and gas equipment require conformity assessment certificate and safety certification; Construction materials need to meet Eurasian Economic Union standards and obtain quality inspection reports; Food products need food safety certification and hygiene license; Auto spare parts need type approval certificate.

We will inform the customer of the ETD (estimated departure time) in time and provide the air waybill (AWB) number for cargo tracking. At the same time, we will sort out the relevant documents and send them to the customer and the local customs clearance agent in Baku in advance to lay the foundation for smooth customs clearance at the destination port (airport and industrial park).
Step 6: Transit & Cargo Tracking
During the transportation process, we will track the cargo dynamics in real time through the automated tracking system, including transit status (for transit flights), arrival at the transit port, departure from the transit port and estimated arrival time at Baku Airport.

Step 7: Arrival & Customs Clearance at Destination Port

Step 8: Delivery & After-Sales Service
After the customs clearance is completed, we can provide inland transportation services from Heydar Aliyev International Airport (Baku) to the customer's warehouse, oilfield, industrial park or designated location in Azerbaijan (such as Ganja, Sumgait, Mingachevir, etc.). After the goods are delivered, we will follow up the customer's satisfaction in a timely manner, collect the customer's feedback and provide after-sales service (such as handling cargo damage claims, solving follow-up logistics problems, coordinating industrial park related matters) to ensure that the customer's needs are fully met.
