ArmInfo. At the Gyumri  customs point of the center of foreign economic activity of the North  service, the process of customs clearance of imported cars has begun.  This was reported by the press service of the State Revenue Committee  of the Republic of Armenia.  According to the source, currently 12  inspectors work in the service center, and about 100 cars have  already been serviced.

According to the Deputy Chairman of the QGD Shushanik Nersisyan, at  the moment it remains to carry out customs clearance of only those  cars that have accumulated in Yerevan, and after their registration  it can be stated that the process of customs clearance will be  completely carried out in Gyumri. The customs point in Noragavit will  continue to work until the end of the year to complete the process of  customs clearance of cars in Yerevan. With full engagement, the  Gyumri Customs Service will serve about 1,000 vehicles per day.

It should be noted that on the eve of the Chairman of the QGD David  Ananyan said that in late November - early December 2019, customs  clearance of cars will be fully carried out in Gyumri for vehicles  imported across the northern border - the Bavra, Gogavan and  Bagratashen checkpoints. Ananyan recalled that since October 14,  customs clearance of light vehicles imported from Georgia and Japan  and imported into Armenia has been carried out at the Northern  Customs Point, and with import from Iran, at the Southern Customs  Point, in Sisian city. Customs clearance of vehicles imported into  Armenia by trailers across the Armenian-Georgian border, belonging to  commodity group 8703 in the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign  Economic Activity, has also been carried out in Gyumri since November  18, 2019. By the end of November, Armenian customs officials will  announce that the customs clearance of vehicles assigned to product  group 8703, transported in containers, will be transferred to the  Northern Customs (in the city of Gyumri), thus fully transferring the  function of customs clearance of cars in the city of Gyumri. It is  planned that the car customs in Gyumri, which will provide services  on a one-stop basis - not only customs clearance will be carried out  here, but also registration of vehicles and issuance of numbers, will  serve 1000-1200 cars daily. As the head of the State Customs  Committee assures, the issue of accumulations of cars at the  Noragavitsky auto customs will be resolved before the end of 2019.

Earlier, ArmInfo reported that a program was launched in Armenia to  create a new car customs clearance center in Gyumri. The total cost  of the program is 2.2 billion drams. The intentions to transfer the  customs clearance point for imported cars from the customs department  in Noragavit to Gyumri come from the order of the Prime Minister of  the Republic of Armenia in connection with an unprecedented increase  in the import of motor vehicles from countries that are not members  of the EAEU. The new paragraph is intended to become part of the  center for the promotion of foreign economic activity. Construction  is planned on the territory of 21.5 hectares owned by the Ministry of  Defense. 4.5 hectares from this territory will be allocated for the  establishment of a customs and police service center. 181 mln drams  were allocated at the first stage of construction of the QGD  auto-customs, and 966 mln drams were allocated at the second stage.
