Editing Tariff (section)

===Armenia===
[[Armenia]] established its custom service in 1992 after the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]]. When Armenia became a member of the [[Eurasian Economic Union|EAEU]], it was given access to the [[Eurasian Customs Union]] in 2015; this resulted in mostly tariff-free trade with other members and an increased number of import tariffs from outside of the customs union. Armenia does not currently have export taxes. In addition, it does not declare temporary imports duties and credit on government imports or pursuant to other international assistance imports.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.export.gov/article?id=Armenia-import-tariffs |title=Armenia – Import Tariffs |publisher=export.gov |date=2015-01-02 |access-date=2019-10-07 |archive-date=2019-09-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190913033813/https://www.export.gov/article?id=Armenia-import-tariffs |url-status=live}}</ref> Upon joining Eurasian Economic Union in 2015, led by Russians, [[Armenia]] applied tariffs on its imports at a rate 0–10 percent. This rate has increased over the years, since in 2009 it was around three percent. Moreover, the tariffs increased significantly on agricultural products rather than on non-agricultural products.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/armenia-import-tariffs |title=Armenia – Country Commercial Guide – Import Tariffs |publisher=trade.gov |date=2022-07-31 |access-date=2021-12-05 |archive-date=2021-12-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211228060939/https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/armenia-import-tariffs |url-status=live}}</ref> Armenia has committed to ultimately adopting the EAEU's uniform tariff schedule as part of its EAEU admission. Until 2022, Armenia was authorised to apply non-EAEU tariff rates, according to Decision No. 113. Some beef, pork, poultry, and dairy products; seed potatoes and peas; olives; fresh and dried fruits; some tea items; cereals, especially wheat and rice; starches, vegetable oils, margarine; some prepared food items, such as infant food; pet food; tobacco; glycerol; and gelatin are included in the list.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Договор от 10.10.2014.

Membership in the EAEU is forcing Armenia to apply stricter standardisation, sanitary, and phytosanitary requirements in line with EAEU{{snd}}and, by extension, Russian{{snd}}standards, regulations, and practices. Armenia has had to surrender control over many aspects of its foreign trade regime in the context of EAEU membership. Tariffs have also increased, granting protection to several domestic industries. Armenia is increasingly beholden to comply with EAEU standards and regulations as post-accession transition periods have, or will soon, end. All Armenian goods circulating in the territory of the EAEU must meet EAEU requirements following the end of relevant transition periods.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/armenia-trade-barriers |title=Armenia – Trade Barriers |date=31 July 2022 |access-date=2022-12-05 |archive-date=2022-12-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204062200/https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/armenia-trade-barriers |url-status=live}}</ref>

Armenia became a WTO member in 2003, which resulted in the Most Favored Country (MFC) benefits from the organisation. Currently, the tariffs of 2.7% implemented in Armenia are the lowest in the entire framework. The country is also a member of the World Customs Organization (WCO), resulting in a harmonised system for tariff classification.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Import and Export Regime |url=https://investinarmenia.am/en/import-and-export-regime |access-date=2023-06-01 |website=investinarmenia.am |archive-date=2023-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230107190513/https://investinarmenia.am/en/import-and-export-regime |url-status=live}}</ref>
