Armenia Amendments as regards live animals, endangered species, the sanitary registration of goods

Armenia has implemented measures in accordance with the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The import of species subject to CITES is only allowed with a permit/certificate issued by the Bio-Rresources Management Agency under the Ministry of Environment. Regulated species are defined in the respective part 2.7 of the single list of goods the importation of which into the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is restricted. 

Besides the required conformity certification, the member states of the EAEU apply common sanitary, epidemiological and hygienic requirements to the goods. As a consequence, a wide range of goods is subject to state registration if they are considered to be potentially dangerous to human health or imported into the EAEU for the first time. The responsible authority in Armenia is the Department of Food Safety under the Ministry of Economy. Imports subject to the mandatory state registration will only be permitted to be introduced into the EAEU with a proof of State Sanitary Registration of Goods.
