Azerbaijan - Import TariffsAzerbaijan - Import Tariffs
As part of the government’s efforts to spur domestic agriculture, it has prioritized import-substitution for food products, raising tariffs to keep many foreign products out of the market. For example, poultry meat import tariffs are set at $1 per kilogram and eggs are charged at $100 per 1,000 chicken eggs. These tariffs were set to expire in 2018, but were extended until December 2019. A weak and unpredictable judiciary, corruption, conflicts of interest in regulatory and commercial matters, and monopolies hinder imports.
