ArmInfo. The State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Armenia reports that, in accordance with the order of the Minister of Economy of the Republic of Armenia dated April 2, 2026, starting July 1, 2026, a document confirming conformity assessment must also be submitted to customs authorities for certain goods imported from third countries and processed through customs under the "Release for Domestic Consumption" procedure.
According to the announcement, the requirement applies to the following goods imported under the following technical regulations: perfumes and cosmetics (Customs Union Regulation 009/2011), fruit and vegetable juice products (Customs Union Regulation 023/2011), certain types of special-purpose food products, including therapeutic and preventive dietary products (Customs Union Regulation 027/2012), tobacco products (Customs Union Regulation 035/2014), and bottled drinking water, including natural mineral water (Customs Union Regulation 044/2017).
