/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In a session presided over by Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan, Government today passed a decision on creating a specialized
customs service under RA State Income Committee.

Customs office will deal with goods transported via international
mailing or courier services. Its procedures will apply to the entire
territory of Armenia.

Such decision was conditioned by the increased level of electronic
trading. Considering that not all Armenian customs services are
supplied with relevant equipment, it was found necessary to create
specialized customs office, RA Government’s press service reports.

Decision was adopted based on international experience, says government
release. Such kind of customs services exist in Great Britain,
Thailand, Russian Federation and other states.
