HayGorc coordinates commercial customs clearance alongside licensed customs brokers in Armenia, maintaining explicit stage-by-stage accountability—from pre-shipment invoice and HS code verification through temporary storage (bonded warehouse) release.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How are statutory customs duties and taxes settled?
- HayGorc prepares the verified payment breakdown in advance, while statutory duties and VAT are paid officially by the importer of record directly to state customs accounts.
- When should documents be shared for customs review?
- Ideally before cargo leaves the supplier’s warehouse so any invoice or labeling discrepancies can be corrected prior to transit.
