Transmitting freight from the USA to Armenia necessitates tactical planning, knowledge of multimodal logistics, and compliance with international regulations in trade. A landlocked country in the South Caucasus, Armenia imports cargo by air freight, supplemented by a mix of ocean and overland transport. RAM International Shipping specializes in customized freight forwarding services to guarantee the efficient and secure delivery of your freight to Armenia. 

 

Cargo Shipping Options from the USA to Armenia

Freight shipping to Armenia is generally done via air freight for speed and reliability, while larger shipments and those that are less urgent are typically shipped using ocean freight and overland transport. In general, one mode of transport may be preferred over another, depending on the size of the shipment, urgent timing, budgetary constraints, and the final destination within Armenia’s relatively small yet developing logistics sector.

 

Air Freight

Airfreight is the fastest option, best suited for cargo requiring time-sensitive delivery or high-value goods, including electronics, pharmaceuticals, or urgent documents. Most international shipments are handled through Zvartnots International Airport located in Yerevan, a primary air cargo hub serving Armenia, with the connection to the other regions. Our air freight services provide secure handling, flexible scheduling, and efficient delivery to meet tight deadlines. Fast transport to the South Caucasus is possible with our air freight solutions.

 

Ocean Freight and Overland Transport

Ocean freight is the best alternative for bigger and less urgent shipments in terms of cost. Being a landlocked country, goods arrive at the nearby seaports  —  Poti or Batumi in Georgia  —  and are then delivered to Armenia by truck or rail. This multimodal option capitalizes on fast delivery using Armenia’s proximity to Black Sea ports.

  • FCL (Full Container Load): Perfect for large shipments that fill an entire container, offering security and efficiency for bulk goods like machinery or consumer products.
  • LCL (Less than Container Load): A budget-friendly option for smaller shipments, where your cargo shares container space, reducing costs while maintaining reliability.

Explore our ocean freight services to find customized solutions that combine sea and overland transport for seamless delivery to Armenia.

 

How Much Does It Cost to Ship from the USA to Armenia?

The freight shipping cost to Armenia can be affected by the following main factors: 

  • Transportation Mode: Air freight is more expensive due to time considerations, while ocean freight overland transport is generally quite cheap but incurs several additional handling charges.
  • Size and Weight of Shipment: Bigger/heavier cargo will cost more, especially for air freight, wherein weight is a significant cost factor. 
  • Origin and destination: The distance from the point of departure in the United States to the final destination in Armenia (sometimes these locations include New York, Los Angeles, etc., and Yerevan, Gyumri, etc.) accordingly vary the costs for overland transport. 
  • Transshipment Costs: Transshipping through ports such as Poti adds general costs through port fees and inland logistics.
  • Additional Services: Extensions such as customs clearance, cargo insurance, and other specialty care (like temperature-controlled handling) apply extra charges.

To obtain a more precise estimate for your needs, feel free to use the freight rate calculator option, or otherwise reach out to our team for a personalized quote fitting your shipment particulars. We pride ourselves on offering reasonable prices with transparency, so you can plan appropriately. 

 

How Long Does It Take to Ship From USA to Armenia?

Transit time is based on the method of shipping, routing, and logistics used:

  • Air Freight: The majority of shipments complete all procedures, including customs clearance and ground handling, within 5-10 working days; however, slight delays may be caused when flights are routed through different connecting hubs in Istanbul, Dubai, or Moscow regardless of the U.S. point of departure and the destination in Armenia.
  • Ocean Freight with Overland Transport: 30-50 days depending on the U.S. port of origin (Savannah, Long Beach) and the transshipment port in Georgia as well as rthe overland route to Armenia; trucking from Poti to Yerevan is generally a faster option when small quantities are concerned instead of rail.

Our logistics experts will provide you with a working timeline tailored to your specific shipment, including real-time tracking updates to keep you informed along the way.

 

Customs Clearance for Shipping to Armenia

Customs clearance is an essential part of shipping goods to Armenia since they are subject to U.S. export regulations and Armenian import policies. RAM International Shipping provides professional customs clearance to ensure conformity and expedite clearance.

 

Customs Clearance in the United States

  • Accurate export documentation must be submitted, including the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and export declaration (if needed).
  • Ensure compliance with U.S. export controls, particularly concerning restrictions on goods, to limit the likelihood of incurring penalties or delays. 

Customs Clearance in Armenia

  • Submit import documentation comprising bill of lading/airway bill plus the commercial invoice, packing list, and permits or licenses if required. 
  • Pay import duties, VAT (Value Added Tax), and customs fees as prescribed, varying according to classification under Armenia’s customs tariff system by nature, value, and type of cargo. 
  • Abide by regulations under the Eurasian Economic Union, of which Armenia is a member, which may entail additional certifications for goods such as food, electronics, and machinery. 

Our team monitors the customs requirements of Armenia and EAEU standards for swift clearance of your shipment while offering pre-clearance consultations for complex shipments enabling us to preemptively diagnose likely challenges.

 

Prohibitions and restrictions on importation into Armenia

Armenia places strict controls on certain goods in the interest of public health, public safety, and national interest. Any goods that are prohibited or restricted include:

  • Narcotics and psychotropic substances, excluding those authorized for medicinal purposes supported by proper documentation;
  • Hazardous substances that include an assortment of flammable or radioactive substances; these need to be imported under special permits;
  • Arms, ammunition, and military equipment; however, cases of import need registration or permission from the Armenian authority;
  • Cultural property items and antiquities exported/imported without their proper licenses;
  • Certain categories of agricultural products, plants, or animal products failing to meet EAEU’s sanitary and phytosanitary standards. 

For a complete description of the limited items and certain conditions of being imported, we suggest contacting either the Armenian Customs Service or our experts for further assistance, ensuring that your shipment satisfies the requirements to avoid delays or confiscation.
