Overview - Shipping to Armenia from Nigeria

Armenia is a landlocked country in the Caucasus region and is part of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which affects how imports are processed and taxed. Many shipments entering Armenia may pass through regional logistics hubs before final delivery, which can sometimes affect transit times.

About Customs When Shipping to Armenia

Shipping into Armenia is regulated by the State Revenue Committee (SRC) of the Republic of Armenia, which oversees customs administration. Armenia follows many customs rules under the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) Customs Code. Proper declaration and correct documentation help prevent delays, inspections, additional charges, or customs issues. Commercial shipments, repeated imports, and regulated products often receive closer customs review. (Trade.gov)

Will I Pay Customs Charges When Shipping to Armenia?

All packages except Documents are generally dutiable. However, whether or not a shipment will attract customs duties, taxes, or import charges depends on:

What is being shipped

The declared value

Quantity

Shipment purpose

Shipment route selected

The discretion of customs officials in Armenia

Some shipments may attract customs charges while others may not.

If you ship through certain Cargo routes on Routely, customs duties may already be covered or estimated as part of the shipping cost, where available.

Customs duty

Import VAT

Excise duty on certain products

Customs processing fees

Regulatory inspection fees where applicable

The standard VAT rate in Armenia is generally 20%. Customs authorities usually calculate import charges based on the customs value of the goods, shipping cost, insurance, and applicable duties. This is commonly referred to as the CIF value. (PwC Tax Summaries)

What Is the Likely Customs Duty Amount in Armenia?

Customs duty rates in Armenia may range from approximately 0% to 20% depending on the item category and HS code. Many consumer goods are commonly assessed around 10%, while some categories may be lower or higher. (FDFA)

Thresholds may change at any time, so always check current rules before shipping.

How Strict Is Customs in Armenia?

Food products, agricultural goods, cosmetics, electronics, medicines, supplements, and regulated products may receive additional checks.

Commercial quantities of fashion items, wigs, skincare products, makeup products, or Nigerian foodstuff may attract additional customs attention.

Customs officials in Armenia may reassess the value of your shipment if the declared amount appears too low or the item description is unclear.
