Armenia is a landlocked country in the South Caucasus with a population of approximately 3 million. The capital Yerevan is served by Zvartnots International Airport (EVN). Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which sets unified customs rules shared with Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. A significant Armenian diaspora of around 35,000 people lives in Spain, mainly in Barcelona and Madrid.

Deliveries to Gyumri (second-largest city) and Vanadzor typically add 1-2 days.
How to pack your parcel for this route
Use double-wall boxes for this route: parcels transit via European hubs before continuing to Yerevan. Wrap fragile items with 3 cm of bubble wrap. Armenia's mountainous terrain means last-mile delivery can involve additional handling.
Practical tips for this route
Two route-specific points. First, Armenia is part of the EAEU customs union, which sets a personal import de minimis of 200 EUR per shipment and 1,000 EUR per year (calendar year). Shipments valued under 200 EUR and weighing under 31 kg enter duty-free for personal use. Above 200 EUR, the EAEU charges 15% customs duty plus 20% VAT on the amount exceeding the threshold. Second, Armenian postal codes are 4 digits, ranging from 0001 to 4404. Yerevan districts start from 0001 (Kentron) to 0082. Always include the 4-digit code and the correct Yerevan district name - Haypost routing relies on both the code and the district name, not just the street address.
