Azerbaijan

The population of Azerbaijan is about 10 million people. The pharmaceutical market is one of the fastest-growing sectors of economic activity, but it almost entirely depends on imports. The country’s regulatory system is actively developing. 

The state language is Azerbaijani. About 40% of the population speaks Russian, and Turkish is also widely spoken.

Import and sale of medicinal products are allowed only after state registration. Any company, resident or non-resident of Azerbaijan, may act as a registration applicant; the establishment of a representative office or a local company is not required. The pharmacovigilance system is actively developing. Import of medicinal products, wholesale and retail pharmaceutical trading are subject to mandatory licensing.

To import medical devices and medical equipment, a letter of authorization and a hygienic certificate are required. State registration of medical devices is not carried out in Azerbaijan.

Cosmetic products, special food products (baby food, sports nutrition, medical nutrition) are delivered based on the hygienic conclusion.
