In case of doubt, we recommend that you check the import rules with the courier service.

The amount of duty-free import to Armenia is 200,000 drams or 30 kg. If the parcel exceeds the criteria, you will have to pay 15% from the excess.

It is possible to pay the fee through courier services (for example, Globbing often allows you to simply replenish your personal account with the required amount), or through a bank transfer.

It is important not to violate the frequency of importing the same type of goods: if you order 20 cans of the same cream every month, you will have to prove to customs officers that this is for personal use.
