Road route from Lithuania to Armenia
The road route from Klaipėda to Yerevan is about 4,570 km. The truck drives through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, then across Türkiye to Georgia. It enters Georgia at Sarpi on the Black Sea coast. From Georgia, it enters Armenia at a road crossing such as Sadakhlo–Bagratashen.
RNJ Transport books a checked partner carrier for each load. Before booking, we check that the carrier can take the route. We do not transport goods to, from or through Russia or Belarus. Armenia uses UTC+4 all year. It is two hours ahead of Lithuania in winter and one hour ahead in summer.
Transit and customs documents for Armenia
Armenia is outside the EU customs territory, so a load needs an EU export declaration and an Armenian import declaration. The goods cross Türkiye and Georgia under a transit procedure. A TIR carnet can cover this transit, because the EU, Türkiye, Georgia and Armenia all apply the TIR Convention. We arrange the customs declarations with a trusted partner.
A national association issues TIR carnets to authorised carriers. Before booking, we check that the partner carrier can take the route with your documents. Georgia joined the Common Transit Convention on 1 February 2025, so a transit declaration in NCTS (common transit) is also possible from the EU as far as Georgia.
For loads from Armenia, the order is reversed. The goods leave Armenia with an Armenian export declaration and travel under TIR to the customs office of destination in the EU. There, they get an EU import declaration. Before booking, we explain which documents your load needs. Send the invoice and the commodity codes before loading.

|---|---|---|
| CMR consignment note | Yes | Yes |
| Invoice and packing list | Yes | Yes |
| Export declaration | EU export declaration | Armenian export declaration |
| Transit document | TIR carnet | TIR carnet |
| Import declaration | Armenian import declaration | EU import declaration |
Road tolls and truck rules on the route to Armenia
On the way to Armenia, the truck pays the toll of each EU country on the route. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary charge trucks over 3.5 t per kilometre. In Türkiye, trucks with foreign plates need an HGS account to use toll motorways and bridges. The truck can leave Türkiye through customs only after all Turkish tolls are paid.
The price we give you includes the tolls on the route. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary also have truck bans on some days, for example on summer weekends. Ask us how the ban days affect your loading date.

A CMR consignment note travels with every load.

What is a TIR carnet?
A TIR carnet is an international customs transit document for road transport. Goods in a sealed truck can cross several countries under one carnet and one guarantee. The EU, Türkiye, Georgia and Armenia all apply the TIR Convention. A national association issues the carnets to authorised carriers, so the partner carrier must hold this authorisation.

Yes. Armenia uses UTC+4 all year and does not change to summer time. In winter, Armenia is two hours ahead of Lithuania. In summer, Armenia is one hour ahead. When it is 12:00 in Vilnius in winter, it is 14:00 in Yerevan. Georgia, on the way, uses the same time as Armenia.
