Armenian businesses will now be able to import goods from Türkiye directly and without intermediaries, according to a statement issued by Armenia’s State Revenue Committee.
“As of May 11, 2026, the procedural preparations for the launch of direct trade between Armenia and Türkiye have been completed. This has been carried out within the framework of the normalization process underway since 2022, as part of confidence-building measures.
Under a new regulation that has entered into force in Türkiye, Armenia can now be listed as the final destination for goods exported from Türkiye.
What was the situation before? Turkish supplier companies were unable to indicate Armenian businesses as recipients, or Armenia as the country of destination, in export declarations submitted to Turkish customs authorities. As a result, goods reached Armenia through intermediary entities in third countries, such as Georgia, under re-export arrangements.
What has changed? From now on, Armenian businesses will be able to import goods from Türkiye directly in their own name, without intermediaries,” the statement said.
Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry announced the start of direct trade with Armenia on May 13.
