Question 1

What is the best way to ship from the USA to Armenia?

Accepted Answer

For large or heavy shipments, ocean freight via Georgian ports (Poti/Batumi) with overland trucking to Armenia is the most cost-effective option. For smaller, time-sensitive shipments, air freight via European connecting flights to Yerevan is ideal. We help you choose the best option based on your cargo type, budget, and timeline.

Question 2

Do you ship to Armenia from Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From our Glendale headquarters we collect across Los Angeles and Southern California, load or consolidate at partner yards near the ports, and ship via Poti or Batumi to Yerevan. Cargo elsewhere in the US leaves from the nearest suitable port, and we confirm routing and transit for each booking.

Question 3

Can you ship personal effects and household goods to Armenia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle both commercial cargo and personal effects shipments to Armenia. We provide proper documentation for household goods, including inventory lists and customs declarations required by Armenian customs authorities.

Question 4

How long does shipping from the USA to Armenia take?

Accepted Answer

Ocean freight via Georgian ports generally takes 7-9 weeks including the overland transit from the Georgian port to Armenia, and we confirm the transit for each booking. Air freight from the US to Yerevan takes 3-5 days with connections through European hubs.

Question 5

How does shipping to Armenia from the US work?

Accepted Answer

In five steps. First we quote and screen the shipment, confirming the consignee in Armenia and what the cargo is for. Our trucking partners then collect from your home, business, auction yard or supplier anywhere in the US, and the cargo is loaded or consolidated at partner yards near the port. Third, we file the US export paperwork: Electronic Export Information (EEI) in AES where it is required, and for a vehicle the title presented to CBP at least 72 hours before export. The container then sails to Poti or Batumi, usually with a transshipment on the way, and continues to Yerevan by truck under bonded customs transit. Finally, our WCA partner agent coordinates Armenian customs clearance in Yerevan with an Armenian customs broker, and the cargo is released for delivery once duties and taxes are paid.

Question 6

What documents do I need to ship to Armenia from the USA?

Accepted Answer

For commercial cargo: a commercial invoice, a packing list and the bill of lading or air waybill, plus EEI filed in AES for shipments over $2,500 per Schedule B line or needing an export license. For a car: the original title (presented to CBP 72 hours before export), the bill of sale or auction invoice, and EEI, which every used vehicle needs regardless of value. For household goods: a detailed, itemised inventory and the owner's passport details; if you are returning to Armenia and may qualify for relief on used personal effects, prepare those documents before the shipment leaves. On the Armenian side, some goods sold commercially also need EAC conformity documents. Our partner in Yerevan confirms the exact list for your cargo before it ships.

Question 7

Can you ship a car from the USA to Armenia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cars ship in containers — commonly three or four to a 40ft box — from California and East Coast ports to Poti or Batumi, then on to Yerevan under bonded transit; door to door typically runs 8-10 weeks including US export formalities. We collect from Copart, IAAI and other auction yards, dealers or private addresses, handle the title and AES filing, and photograph the car at pickup and loading. Armenian import charges follow EAEU rules: customs duty and import VAT, plus excise or other fees where they apply, depending on engine size, age and value. They can exceed the freight cost, so have the total confirmed for the specific car before you buy. Our guide to shipping vehicles and household goods to Armenia covers the details.

Question 8

Are Armenian duties and taxes included? Do you offer DDP to Armenia?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not offer DDP (delivered duty paid) shipping to Armenia. Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, so imports are assessed customs duty under the EAEU common customs tariff plus import VAT, with excise on certain goods, and used household goods of returning residents may qualify for relief. These charges are calculated at clearance in Yerevan and paid by the consignee through the customs broker. Our quotes list them as exclusions, and we connect you with an Armenian broker for the figures for your specific cargo before it ships.
