HS code
Classify every line under the HS nomenclature; India's largest export chapter to Azerbaijan in 2024 was HS 24. The 8-digit ITC(HS) code goes on the shipping bill. Guide →
Incoterms
Azerbaijan is landlocked, so the multimodal terms (FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP) fit better than FOB or CIF, which are for sea legs only. Guide →
