Armenia: The temporary ban on cement imports to Armenia will be lifted, according to a decision made at a government meeting on 1 October 2026. The restriction was originally imposed for six months, from 23 July 2026 to 23 January 2027. At the same time, cement imports were regulated by licensing and a state duty of US$22/t. The government said that due to logistical problems, cement imports have become more expensive, and delivery times have increased. The current restrictions have reportedly affected the balance of supply and demand and created an ‘unequal playing field’ for product sales. The government hopes that lifting the ban will help balance the market and ensure the necessary supplies.
