Shiping Freight From China to Armenia

Shiping Freight From China to Armenia 

Shipping freight from China to Armenia involves a few different options, each with its own balance of cost and time. Because Armenia is a landlocked country, goods always need to travel through a neighboring country, most commonly by sea to Georgia and then overland, or by air directly to Yerevan 

Here is a summary of the costs and transit times for the main shipping methods.

Overview of Shipping Options from China to Armenia

Sea Freight (via Georgia)

This is the most common and cost-effective method for bulk shipments. Your cargo is shipped from a major Chinese port (like Shanghai or Shenzhen) to the Georgian Black Sea ports of Poti or Batumi. From there, it's transported by truck or rail to Yerevan 

Rail Freight

Rail is a faster alternative to sea freight and is cheaper than air. It usually travels through Central Asia (e.g., Kazakhstan, Russia, Georgia) to Armenia . A planned new multimodal rail route via Iran (from Xi'an to Yerevan) that could have taken about 25 days was postponed in mid-2025 due to regional instability and is not currently active 

Air Freight

This is your fastest option. Cargo is flown from a Chinese airport (like Shanghai Pudong or Guangzhou Baiyun) to Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) in Yerevan, often with a connection through a major hub like Dubai or Istanbul 

 Customs, Duties & Taxes

When calculating your final budget, keep these important costs in mind:

• Armenia is in the EAEU: Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union. This means it applies the Common External Tariff (CET), so customs duties for many goods can be lower than in non-member countries 

• Duty & VAT: Import duties vary by product type. You will also need to pay a 20% Value Added Tax (VAT) on most imports, calculated on the CIF value (Cost, Insurance, Freight) plus duty 

• De Minimis Value: Shipments valued under $200 are exempt from import duties, which is helpful for small packages
