The Department of Trade and Customs Organization was established on May 4, 2016 by the merging of two chairs of the university – “International Trade and Customs” and “Commerce”.
“International trade and customs business”. After gaining independence, there was a great need for personnel training in customs business and economic security in Azerbaijan. For this purpose, on June 08, 2001, the Department of “Organization of Customs” was established.

Employees of the department have published more than 20 textbooks, teaching facilities, monographs and methodical aids. Textbooks on “Customs Organization”, “Customs Expertise”, “Customs-tariff regulation of foreign economic activity” and “The History of Customs in Azerbaijan” were prepared and given to students. Particular attention is paid to scientific-research works carried out at the department. Employees of the department have carried out state budget research works on the topics “Modern problems of ensuring the country’s economic security” and “Problems of the use of export potential of Azerbaijan”.
The laboratories of “Customs business organization”, “Customs expertise” are functioning under the department.
Training of cadres on commercial specialties began on the day of the first establishment of the higher school. It is no coincidence that the first economic institute, founded in 1930 and forming the basis of our university, was named Trade and Cooperative Institute. Regardless of which higher education institution has been involved, training in trade has never stopped, but on the contrary, it has developed into a rising line. One of the faculties of the newly established Trade and Cooperative Institute was the Soviet Commerce School, which is a trade union commodity. The chair, directly responsible for this area, was called the “Economic organization and techniques of Soviet trade.”
In the 30s, the department was led by Hasan Huseynov, and in 1945-1970 by M.Mirbagirov. A great part of the development of the department is connected with the name of Prof. I.Feyzullabeyli. Professor I.Feyzullabeyli had provided exceptional services in adequate renewal of trade science to the essence of that period and development of trade sciences in Azerbaijan, as well as leading position in the department of “Trade Economics” in the institute.
In 1968, another department called “Trade Organization and Technology” began functioning. The new chair was led by Prof. M.Zeynalov. In 1979-1981, the position of the head of the department was occupied by Prof. C.P.Pashayev. In 1989, the Department of “Trade Economics” and “Trade Organization and Management” was united and the new department “Economics and Management of Trade” was established and headed by Can. of Economic Sciences, Assist. Prof. Sh.H.Hajiyev. In 1992-2005, the department was headed by associate professor T.M.Mammadov, in 2005-2013, Dr. of Econ., Prof. K.Pashayev and Assist. Prof. Maharram Akbarov.
In 2004, the Department of “Trade” was established on the basis of the Departments “Commerce”, “Advertising business” and “Trade and Marketing”.
