The volume of goods and services imported by 344 large taxpayers
of Armenia totaled AMD 53.4 billion in February 2010 that is 55.1%

Revenues, the increase is conditioned not only by goods’ import

(ArmRosgazprom, Orange Armenia, International Airports – Armenia,
Flesh, Armswissbank, Europe, Byurakan, Alex Grig) increased by AMD
14.2mln in February 2010 as compared with the same period of last year.

The increase had a direct impact on customs fees, which amounted to
