Government return to 636 citizens funds paid in customs duties for  import of electric vehicles - minister 

ArmInfo. Citizens who paid customs duties on electric vehicle imports last year will receive refunds. Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan announced this on his  Facebook page.

Specifically, he noted that this concerns 636 citizens and several  million drams.

Papoyan recalled that this year Armenia received 8,000 quotas for  electric vehicles, 5,000 of which are for individuals and legal  entities (not dealers), and 3,000 for dealers.

"Dealers did not use 636 of their quotas, and we transferred them to  individuals and legal entities," he noted. For example, the country's  authorities extended the preferential tax system for imported  electric vehicles, electric buses, trolleybuses, motorcycles, and  mopeds for another year-from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. A  customs duty exemption for imported electric vehicles is also in  effect.  It's worth noting that in early December 2025, the Minister  of Economy announced that Armenia would redistribute unused electric  vehicle import quotas by dealers to individuals.

According to the Eurasian Economic Commission, 7,000 vehicles were  imported from third countries to Armenia in 2022, and the established  quota for 2023-2025 is 8,000 electric vehicles per year. As a result  of these tax incentives, the volume of electric vehicle deliveries to  the domestic market has increased significantly. Specifically, 10,980  units of equipment were imported in 2023, a 78% increase compared to  the previous year. In 2024, these volumes exceeded 11,700 units (a  22% increase).

As of the end of November 2025, according to the State Revenue  Committee, 3 electric buses and 14,888 electric cars had been  imported to Armenia, which is 3,000 more than for the entire 2024.  2,634 motorcycles and mopeds were also imported.

Papoyan noted that the proposed tax exemption on imported vehicles  applies only to electric vehicles manufactured in 2024 and later.
