Armenia to USA Freight Forwarding

Trusted Armenia to USA shipping with transparent door-to-door quotes

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, agricultural products, and IT-related hardware. Many Armenian producers have long depended on the Russian and wider EAEU market, where access can tighten at short notice through phytosanitary and other restrictions, and a growing number are looking to diversify. For a producer diversifying away from a single concentrated destination, the United States is a natural second market — and American Global Freights is headquartered in the middle of one of the largest Armenian communities 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. We coordinate all of it from Glendale, with our licensed customs brokers, rather than leaving you to find 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 generally runs 6-9 weeks including the overland leg, depending on routing and transshipment; we confirm it for each booking. 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.
What tariffs apply to imports from Armenia?
Armenian goods pay the normal (MFN) duty for their HS line — many food and drink lines carry specific duties per kilogram or liter — plus any additional US tariff in force for Armenia on the date of entry. Brandy and wine also need TTB label approval and a licensed importer, and food needs FDA registration and Prior Notice. We confirm the current total for your exact HS code at quoting.
