Armenia approves Agreement on Unified Customs Transit System between EAEU and Third Parties

The Armenian government has approved the Agreement on the Unified Customs Transit System between the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and third parties. The document was signed on December 26, 2024 at the session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in St. Petersburg.

The agreement will apply to the transit of goods through the territories of EAEU member states and participating third countries. Currently, during transit movement through the territory of each of the parties, a customs transit declaration is submitted with the established format, that is, in the format of the EAEU and the relevant country. The unified transit system will allow the submission of a customs transit declaration once.

Thus, the transit potential of Armenia will increase, particularly if Iran joins this system.
