Cars from Korea to Armenia
Armenia is part of the EAEU and has long become one of the region's key hubs for parallel car imports. The Yerevan and Zvartnots customs offices are well familiar with Korean cars: clearance is fast, with rates under the unified EAEU customs tariff. At the same time Armenia retains a number of incentives for electric and hybrid cars, which makes the Korean EV segment especially attractive. A car cleared in Armenia moves freely on to Russia.

Frequently asked
For certain categories of car — electric, hybrid, rare trims — clearance in Armenia works out cheaper. After that the car moves on to Russia within the EAEU with no additional duties. We advise on each specific case.
Logistics and customs — from $1,950 on top of the car price. A 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 turnkey in Yerevan — from $40,000–$48,000 with the reduced EV rate.
Via Poti — around 28–38 days. Via Vladivostok — around 42–52 days, but $500–800 cheaper. For EVs we recommend Poti — faster and more reliable. Timings are approximate and depend on schedules and the carrier partner.
