All parcels coming to Armenia, before reaching the postman and then the owner, first enter the Zvartnots cargo complex. Mandatory X-ray examination is here.
The customs officer would have seized this parcel on the spot a few days ago, as it is forbidden to bring medicine to Armenia by mail to an individual, a citizen.
However, taking into account the social side of the issue, the fact that new medicines against a number of diseases are not yet registered here and do not exist, or are very expensive, the government decided to give people the opportunity to receive medicine via international delivery. The permit is already valid.
The only problem is to check in advance that the medecine does not contain psychotropic substances, is not on the banned list.
