The Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia reports that the list of exceptions in freight turnover between the Republic of Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran has been expanded.

Due to the need to identify additional goods to be transported as part of humanitarian assistance and the procedure for their transportation, the Government Decision of 24 February, 2020 has been amended to authorize the freight of goods of economic importance between the two countries.

Note that the freight of goods specified in lines 1-19 of the Annex is allowed by the State Revenue Committee based on a written consent received from the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Armenia concerning the type and the quantities of goods.

Transportation of other goods is permitted by the State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Armenia, considering the Meghri border checkpoint’s capacity, as well as the quantity and specificity of the goods transported.
 
The freight of the goods is carried out in the following manner:
● The goods to be transshipped are reloaded either on the territory of the Meghri checkpoint or on the territory of Agarak-Terminal LLC customs checkpoint;
● The movement of those goods not subject to transshipment through the territory of the Republic of Armenia and the return of trucks to Iran after unloading is coordinated and controlled by the RA Police, based on the guidelines and recommendations issued by the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Armenia.
