Armenia Air Freight from China: routing and transit
We move door-to-door air freight from South China into Armenia. Cargo enters through EVN (Yerevan Zvartnots) and clears with State Revenue Committee (EAEU member), which takes 4–9 days on average.
Armenia is landlocked and reached almost entirely through Georgian ports, with a road leg from Poti or Batumi to Yerevan. As an EAEU member it applies the union's tariff and EAC certification regime, which is worth noting because the paperwork mirrors Russia and Kazakhstan rather than its Georgian transit neighbour.
