Cargo shipping from Europe is implemented with high intensity. First of all, the explanation is that the European Union is one of the main import and export markets for Armenia.
Cargo shipping from Europe abundantly in large volumes began to be implemented about 10 years ago. The dynamics of imports is constantly preserved, if we do not take into consideration the influence of the crisis situations.
Cargo shipping from Europe is implemented by all types of transportation - by sea, land, air, and also by railway.
Cargo shipping from Europe by sea is implemented in such cases, when the given European country has an access to seashore and, therefore, trade ports. At first cargoes arrive in neighboring Georgia - in the port of Poti, and after they move to Armenia by trucks.
Although it requires less time, the implementation of cargo shipping from Europe by air, on the other hand, is relatively expensive.
In the case of overland shipping, trucks moving from European countries to Armenia at first cross the border of neighboring Georgia, and sometimes Turkey, then enter the territory of Armenia.
Over the past 2020 year, cargo shipping from Europe in the largest volumes was implemented from Germany and Italy. These two countries are in the list of Armenia's top 5 import partners. In terms of import volumes, the indicators of these two countries follow only Russia - the main trading partner of Armenia, China and neighboring Iran.
Imports from European countries are not limited by these two countries. Cargo shipping from Europe is implemented also from Poland, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Spain and Greece.
Taking into consideration the 25 European countries, Armenia imports the largest volumes from these countries.
When implementing cargo shipping from Europe, almost everything is delivered to Armenia, in particular, ferrous metals, copper, household appliances, vehicles, furniture, clothing, tobacco products, glass goods, medicines, alcoholic beverages, cosmetics, etc.
The top 3 goods imported to Armenia are also imported from European countries. These goods are equipment, mineral ore, chemical materials.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the volume of cargo shipping from Europe has relatively decreased. According to the statistics, imports from European countries to Armenia in 2020 amounted to more than $ 800 million, while in 2019 the same volumes amounted to more than $ 1 billion.
