  • Controlled medication

    depends on specifics

    Narcotic and psychotropic medicines can be brought in without a licence if you show medical documents confirming the medical need, with the product name and quantity. The documents, or certified Armenian translations with notarisation, must be given to customs. Only narcotic and psychotropic medicines registered in Armenia may be imported. Fill in a customs declaration stating the quantity prescribed and that it was legally obtained.

    Failing to declare medicine containing narcotic or psychotropic substances can lead to administrative or criminal penalties under Armenian law.
