Armenia releases figures on imports via Azerbaijan

The Customs Service of the State Revenue Committee of Armenia and the Ministry of Economy have released data on the volume of Russian and Kazakh goods imported to Armenia via Azerbaijani territory. The figures pertain to the period from the opening of the route in November last year until April 15, 2026.

Data were also published on Azerbaijani imports to Armenia via Georgian territory.

The cargo passes through Georgian territory, as the direct rail connection between Armenia and Azerbaijan has not yet been restored.

In response to an inquiry by Armenpress, the State Revenue Committee and the Ministry of Economy said in a joint statement that 26,295 tons of goods were transported to Armenia from Russia and Kazakhstan via Azerbaijan, while 9,337 tons of fuel were imported from Azerbaijan. The statement stressed that the “results of regional cooperation and the establishment of peace are already tangible, creating new opportunities for economic development.”

According to the data, goods were transported to the Republic of Armenia via the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan by railway transit for the first time on November 6, 2025.

The shipments from Russia and Kazakhstan included 24,865 tons of wheat, 1,362 tons of fertilizer, and 68 tons of buckwheat groats.

Meanwhile, from Azerbaijan to Armenia via Georgia, 9,337 tons of Azerbaijani-origin fuel were imported by rail between December 2025 and April 15, 2026, with a total customs value of USD 7.2 million, including 5,398 tons of diesel fuel worth USD 4.3 million and 3,939 tons of gasoline worth USD 2.9 million, the statement said.
