How much does it cost to import a car from the USA to Armenia?

The total depends on the US purchase price, auction fees, US transport, ocean freight, insurance, USD/AMD rate, engine displacement, age and fuel type. This calculator estimates Armenia's EAEU customs duty, clearance and local fees from those inputs.

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 20% VAT on customs value + duty + excise. The calculator shows the computed VAT line for reference.

How is the customs duty calculated in Armenia?

Armenia uses the EAEU unified schedule. Age and engine displacement (cc) map to a euro-per-cc rate, which is then multiplied by the engine size and converted through the euro-USD-AMD chain.

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 Armenia customs calculator?

No. It is an unofficial planning tool based on public EAEU and State Revenue Committee sources. Confirm the final amount with a customs broker before shipping.
