The Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission has decided to grant Armenia an additional quota for the import of 5,000 electric vehicles. This opportunity will allow buyers to import this number of vehicles at a zero customs duty rate throughout 2026.
Armenian Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan addressed the decision on his social media page, adding that information regarding the specific procedure for quota distribution and other details will be provided to the public in the near future. This is of great importance for the market, as the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise.
The increase in import quotas for electric vehicles demonstrates that trends toward modernizing the transport fleet are ongoing. This privilege creates favorable conditions for Armenia, contributing to the accessibility of eco-friendly modes of transport.
The focus now remains on the procedures that will be used to implement the quota distribution. Whether it will be based on the order of applications or other mechanisms will become clear following upcoming official announcements. The effectiveness of this decision will largely depend on the transparency and fairness of that distribution process.
