Armenia Expands Duty-Free Electric Vehicle Import Quota for 2026

Armenia plans to increase its duty-free import quota for electric vehicles by 5,000 units in 2026, according to a government proposal aimed at promoting EV adoption. Of the additional vehicles, 4,500 will be available to individuals, entrepreneurs, and entities without direct manufacturer agreements. The remaining 500 slots are reserved for authorized dealers and distributors meeting specific requirements, including proof of warranty coverage, technical service facilities, and software support capabilities. Importers of those 500 vehicles must provide documentation of facility ownership or leases, along with photographs. The measure is part of Armenia's broader effort to facilitate electric vehicle imports and encourage their use domestically.
