Armenia to USA Freight Forwarding

Trusted Armenia to USA shipping with all-inclusive rates

The Armenia-USA trade lane connects the Armenian economy with one of its largest diaspora markets. Armenian exports to the United States include beverages (particularly brandy and wine), textiles, precious stones, agricultural products, and IT-related hardware. That trade has taken on a new urgency: from May 2026 Russia introduced restrictions on a widening list of Armenian goods — fresh produce, stone and dried fruit, fish, seeds, fertilizers and timber — and Armenian producers who had relied on that market are actively looking for others. The EU responded in September 2026 by agreeing to suspend duties on roughly 80% of Armenian exports for two years, and the numbers show the shift: in the first quarter of 2026 Armenia's trade with the EAEU fell about 15.6% while its trade with the EU rose about 54.3%. For a producer diversifying away from a single concentrated destination, the United States is the obvious second market — and American Global Freights is headquartered in the middle of the largest Armenian community outside Armenia.

AGF Advantage on This Lane

AGF's founder and team bring a personal understanding of Armenian business culture and trade requirements that sets us apart from generic freight forwarders. We know the Armenian export landscape, the transportation infrastructure, and the customs procedures on both sides. Armenia is landlocked, so nothing sails directly: cargo moves overland to Poti or Batumi and ships from there, or flies from Zvartnots when the value justifies it — a two-stage routing we run every week. Where we earn our keep on this lane, though, is the American end. First-time Armenian exporters lose more time to FDA prior notice, a Foreign Supplier Verification Program that has to exist before the first shipment, TTB permits and label approval for brandy and wine, and US-compliant Nutrition Facts labelling than they ever lose to the freight. Our US customs team handles all of it in house rather than handing you to a broker at the port.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are goods shipped from Armenia to the USA?

Since Armenia is landlocked, ocean freight typically routes through Georgian ports (Poti or Batumi) on the Black Sea. Goods are trucked from Armenia to Georgia, then shipped by sea. Air freight goes directly from Yerevan Zvartnots Airport to the US, usually via connecting flights through European hubs.

How long does shipping from Armenia to the USA take?

Via ocean freight through Georgian ports, total transit is approximately 30-40 days including the overland leg. Air freight from Yerevan to Los Angeles or New York takes 3-5 days via European connecting flights.

Do you handle Armenian brandy and wine exports?

Yes, we have experience shipping Armenian beverages including brandy, wine, and spirits. We handle all required alcohol import documentation, TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) requirements, and FDA registration for US import clearance.
