Shipping from the USA to Armenia
Gelle Transport arranges freight from the United States to Armenia through vetted international air and ocean partners, building on our experience as a Kansas City trucking company since 2014. We collect your cargo in the US, prepare it for export, book the international leg and coordinate arrival in Armenia, with routing and availability confirmed before every booking.
Transatlantic freight is frequent and competitive. Most European imports are subject to VAT at the point of entry, and goods must meet local product standards.
Air freight to Armenia
Air cargo from the United States to Armenia normally arrives at Zvartnots International Airport (EVN). Air freight is the best choice for urgent, compact and high-value shipments such as electronics, spare parts, documents and medical supplies. Typical door-to-door transit from the USA to this region is about 2–6 days, depending on the origin airport, connections and customs clearance. Air cargo is charged on chargeable weight — the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight.
Sea freight to Armenia
Armenia has no seaport of its own (Landlocked — via Poti (Georgia)). Ocean cargo sails to a neighbouring port, then moves inland by road or rail under customs transit. Declaring Armenia as the final destination from the very start is essential, so the cargo is not cleared — and taxed — in the transit country. Typical ocean transit to the region is about 2–4 weeks, plus inland transit time.
Customs and import documents for Armenia
Most shipments to Armenia need the following. Product-specific requirements vary, so we confirm them before your cargo leaves the US:
- Commercial invoice with item values
- Detailed packing list
- Bill of lading or air waybill
- Importer registration / tax ID in Armenia
- Certificates of origin or conformity where required
- Permits for regulated goods (food, medicines, chemicals)
Import duties and taxes are assessed in Armenia in the local currency (Armenian dram (AMD)) and are normally paid by the importer. US export rules also apply — some goods, technologies and destinations need an export licence.
