The government has established the cases of departure of freight transport vehicles from the Republic of Armenia through the State border automobile crossing points without entering the accumulation parking lot, the priorities for the release of individual freight transport vehicles from the accumulation parking lots, the procedure for joining the queue management system for those conducting the organization of accumulation parking lots, the requirements for the implementation of the organization of accumulation parking lots, and the maximum amount of the fee for the queueing service in accumulation parking lots. It has also been determined which automobile crossing points of the State border of the Republic of Armenia can only allow the departure of freight transport vehicles after entering and exiting the accumulation parking lot.

As noted by the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee, Edward Hakobyan, these new regulations will facilitate and promote export processes. They relate to queue management near border crossing points and the creation of parking lots.

According to the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee, legal grounds for the operation of parking lots will be established. Edward Hakobyan mentioned that this is a public offer for private investors to create modern parking lots in the areas adjacent to customs checkpoints and to organize civilized services for freight vehicles engaged in exports. "There are two main objectives. The first is to accelerate the operations of goods departure across the customs border, ensuring a smooth transition through preliminary queuing and gathering information about the departing vehicle. The second is to eliminate vehicle congestion at the border crossing points," said the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee.

Edward Hakobyan informed that accumulation parking lots will be created in the areas adjacent to two customs checkpoints: Bagratashen and Agarak. "Entering the parking lot is a mandatory requirement, and only after that can one proceed to the customs checkpoint. The parking lots must be located no more than 20 km from the customs checkpoint, have at least 3000 square meters of area, be asphalted or concreted, marked, equipped with an electronic digital management system and appropriate cameras. And all of this must be interoperable with our customs digital systems," said the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee, adding that the queue management system will be transparent, accessible to everyone, and a maximum fee will be set at up to 5000 drams.

According to Edward Hakobyan, three priorities have been established for the order of movement from accumulation parking lots to customs checkpoints. First, priority will be given to perishable goods such as fish, meat and meat products, dairy products, vegetables, and other items. The second priority will relate to goods transported under special customs procedures, specifically goods intended for international events, diplomatic cargo, and goods transported within the framework of donor assistance. The third priority will be given to authorized economic operators, as well as law-abiding taxpayers who have certificates. According to the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee, it is also established when vehicles may not enter parking lots: "These are exceptional cases. In particular, goods necessary for the elimination of the consequences of natural and man-made emergencies, large-sized vehicles, etc."
