From 10 October 2026, certain products originating in the Republic of Armenia enter the Union free of ad valorem import dutiesEmta under Regulation (EU) 2026/2269 of 7 October 2026
Europa, published in the Official Journal on 9 October 2026 (ELT 2026/L2269). Products listed in Annex I are admitted exempt from ad valorem import duties
Europa; products listed in Annex II are admitted duty-free within the Union tariff quotas set out in that Annex
Europa. The regime applies until 11 October 2028
Europa.
The Commission manages the Annex II tariff quotas in accordance with Articles 49 to 54 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.
The measures depend on Armenia meeting four conditionsEmta. Armenia must apply the origin rules in Articles 59 to 70 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 and Articles 113 to 126 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447
Europa; maintain close and effective administrative cooperation with the Union, including verification of proofs of origin, to prevent fraud
Europa; refrain from introducing new duties or charges having equivalent effect, new quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect on imports from the Union, from increasing existing duties or charges, and from other trade restrictions including discriminatory internal administrative measures, unless duly justified and notified to the Commission
Europa; and respect democratic principles, the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms and counter the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction under Articles 2 and 9 of the Partnership Agreement
Europa. Where Armenia fails to meet these conditions, the Commission may suspend the measures in whole or in part
Europa, and safeguard measures are available where covered imports adversely affect the Union market or the market of one or more Member States for like or directly competing products.
Armenian exporters prove preferential origin with a EUR.1 movement certificate or an invoice declarationEmta. Any exporter may make out an invoice declaration for a consignment of one or more packages containing originating products worth no more than EUR 6,000
Emta; above that value only an approved exporter may do so
Emta. An Armenian exporter registered in the Union REX system may also make out an invoice declaration under Articles 70, 72, 86, 89 and 91 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.
When declaring Armenian imports in Impuls, use additional document code N954 for the EUR.1 certificate or N864 for the invoice declarationEmta, with preference code 300
Emta. A proof of origin is valid for four months from its issue in the exporting country
Emta and must be presented to the importing country's customs within that period
Emta.
Legal basis: Regulation (EU) 2026/2269, Articles 1, 2 and 7; Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446, Articles 59 to 70; and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447, Articles 49 to 54, 70, 72, 86, 89, 91 and 113 to 126.
If you import Armenian-origin goods into the Union, claim preference code 300 in Impuls with document code N954 or N864 and hold a EUR.1 certificate or invoice declaration that is still within its four-month validity.
