Over 450 cases of cash import and export worth approximately $69 million were recorded or declared by individuals in Armenia in January-February 2026, according to the press service of the State Revenue Committee.
YEREVAN, March 12. /ARKA/. Over 450 cases of cash import and export worth approximately $69 million were recorded or declared by individuals in Armenia in January-February 2026, according to the press service of the State Revenue Committee.
"Of this amount, approximately $59.5 million was imported into the Republic of Armenia, and approximately $9.5 million was exported," the statement reads.
The department reminded that cash in the amount of $10,000 or more (or the equivalent) transported across the border is subject to declaration.
"Control over cash transported across the border will be consistently strengthened to ensure financial transparency and prevent potential violations," the statement reads.
According to the analysis, a significant portion of cash was transported from EAEU member states.
It is noted that although the EAEU does not have separate regulations for the import and export of cash, large-scale cash movements are associated with certain risks, including shadow money laundering, money laundering, illicit financial flows, and other potential violations of the law.
The State Revenue Committee urges citizens to refrain from physically transporting large amounts of cash and, whenever possible, to use bank transfers, which are a safer and more transparent method of conducting financial transactions.
