Why Estimate Armenia Import Costs Before Bidding
Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, so cars imported from the USA are subject to the EAEU unified customs tariff — an age-tiered, engine-displacement-based schedule that can make older or larger-engined vehicles surprisingly expensive. Add ocean freight from a US port to Poti plus overland transport to Yerevan, and the landed cost can far exceed what the auction hammer price suggests.
Calculating before you bid prevents costly surprises. The EAEU rate table and the individual versus legal-entity VAT treatment can vary widely by vehicle type and buyer status, and electric vehicles currently enjoy a full duty and VAT exemption. Running the numbers takes seconds with the right tool.

Armenia Car Import Calculator FAQ
How much does it cost to import a car from the USA to Armenia?
The total depends on the US purchase price, auction fees, transport, ocean freight, insurance, USD/AMD rate, engine displacement, age, and fuel type. The calculator estimates the EAEU customs duty, clearance, and local fees from those inputs.
How is the EAEU customs duty calculated for Armenia?
Age and engine displacement map to a euro-per-cc rate from the EAEU unified schedule. That rate is multiplied by engine size and converted through the euro-USD-AMD chain.
Does Armenia charge VAT on imported cars?
Individuals importing one passenger car for personal use are generally exempt from the 20% VAT. Legal entities and commercial imports pay VAT on customs value plus duty plus excise. The calculator shows both scenarios.
Are electric cars cheaper to import into Armenia?
Yes. Under the current EV exemption window, personal-use electric vehicles are not subject to customs duty or VAT, leaving only clearance and local fees.
Is this an official Armenian customs calculator?
No. It is an unofficial planning tool. Confirm the final amount with a customs broker before shipping.
