ArmInfo. Armenia's State Revenue Committee (SRC) has announced a permanent increase in oversight regarding the physical movement of cash across the country's borders. The move aims to bolster financial transparency and prevent potential violations.
According to the agency's press service, in January-February 2026, more than 450 cases of cash import and export by individuals totaling approximately $69 million were recorded or declared. Of this, approximately $59.5 million was imported into the Republic of Armenia, and approximately $9.5 million was exported from the country.
SRC analysis shows that a significant portion of the cash was imported from member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. The Committee reminds that any amount exceeding $10,000 USD (or its equivalent) must be formally declared at the border. Although there are no restrictions on the import and export of cash within the Eurasian Economic Union or specific regulations, large-scale physical transport of cash is flagged for risks related to money laundering and illegal financial flows, and other violations.
The State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Armenia strongly urges citizens to avoid physically transporting large amounts of cash and, whenever possible, to use bank transfers- the most secure and transparent means for financial transactions.
