Car Shipping Yerevan
Though it is an asset to have your own personal vehicle with you at all times, shipping a car from the USA to Yerevan in Armenia can be cumbersome. The main reason is that the region is rugged and mountainous, due to its geographical location in the South Caucasus area.
A popular tourist destination in recent years, Yerevan is one of the world’s oldest cities and the capital of Armenia. It is located on the banks of the Hrazdan River and is the hub of industries and the administrative and cultural center of the country. With the advent of rapid urbanization in the past few years, the transportation has improved considerably. There has been new construction and betterment of conveyance since 2000, and retail stores and businesses have multiplied.

Requirements for Importing Vehicles
Communication is one of the most important aspects of completing the import formalities. As there is limited scope of English in Armenia, it is best to get a copy of the documents translated in Russian or Armenian. Although there has been a growing trend of English as a language of communication, most customs officials have limited knowledge. This is another reason to have an experienced international shipping service in your corner to overcome such communication issues.
Armenia is a landlocked country. Hence, the closest ports are in neighboring countries like Georgia, Turkey, Russia, or the United Arab Emirates, adding extra time and difficulty to hauling. The next step is to drive or ship it to Yerevan through land. A-1 A-T service guarantees a safe delivery in a couple of weeks, although the process can take longer.
Hauling Documentation
There is plenty of documentation that will need to be submitted. At A-1 Auto Transport Company, we will ensure that the vehicle papers are documented and submitted in the correct format. Here are the necessary documents:
- Bill of sale
- Proof of ownership
- Registration deed
- Owner’s passport copy
- Inspection certificate that certifies working conditions and technical details
- Visa for Armenia or residency permit
Additionally, the owner of the vehicle has to be in in the city when your shipment is expected.
Methods of Auto Transport
As Yerevan is a landlocked city, the car will be shipped to one of the ports in the nearest country and then driven to Armenia or hauled by land. The shipping options are of two types- Roll on/ Roll off (RORO) and the container method. The RORO method is the cheapest, and your vehicle is rolled on the car deck and secured until it is rolled off at the delivery port. The other method is container hauling, which allows you to enclose your car and other goods within a secured container. This is more expensive. However, it will be hauled by road to Yerevan after it reaches the port. Custom duties of nearly 30% and other taxes are paid before delivery. Check with the Embassy of Armenia in US before sending the vehicles.
