The first meeting of the Customs Reforms and Risk Management Council for 2026 was held under the chairmanship of Eduard Hakobyan, Chairman of the State Revenue Committee (SRC). This information was reported to bizprotect.am by the SRC.
Highlighting the discussions on customs reforms during the meeting, SRC Chairman Eduard Hakobyan emphasized that ensuring stable and continuous reforms, as well as the consistent improvement of the risk management system, is the path that must be pursued, while simultaneously reducing potential risks in the sector. “In this context, the work of the Council should be aimed at preventing any function or event that could hinder the effective implementation of planned reforms, and achieving maximum results through the improvement of the risk management system,” Hakobyan stressed.
During the meeting, the progress of the work toward establishing a monitoring center for the analysis of X-ray images was presented. The implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools in the customs sector was also discussed. Within the framework of customs reforms, the EXIM information platform is planned to be launched in 2026, and several preparatory steps have already been taken. This platform will allow businesses and individuals to access comprehensive information on foreign economic activity, including exports and imports, through a single unified platform. In the context of customs sector digitalization, the measures aimed at digitalizing land border crossing points were also discussed.
Special attention was given to the introduction of the Unified Customs Account system to enhance the efficiency of customs administration. This system will allow the settlement of customs payments and other obligations to customs authorities through a single account.
It was emphasized during the meeting that the planned reforms in the customs sector and the introduction of new digital systems will significantly improve the quality of services provided to businesses and citizens, simplify several procedures, and contribute to the development of foreign economic activity.
