Garant Logistics provides comprehensive logistics outsourcing services across European, Asian, CIS, and EAEU countries, offering a single-window service through Supply Chain Management.

The company offers three types of cargo transportation between China and Armenia: sea, air, and land.

Sea transport is the most efficient option for shipping large and bulky cargo over long distances. Garant Logistics partners with leading shipping lines to ensure reliable, safe, and timely delivery of cargo from cities and ports across China and other Asian countries to Armenia, as well as in the opposite direction.

While carrying out sea transportation, the company also focuses on newly developing ports.

 In 2024, Garant Logistics launched extensive efforts to assess the potential of Iran’s Chabahar port.

“This port, as the only non-sanctioned ocean port in Iran, has great potential and could become a key hub for trade between Armenia, China, and India,” noted Aram Nikoghosyan, founder of Garant International Group.

“With the development of the necessary infrastructure, Chabahar port will be of great interest to Armenian businesses and logistics companies, becoming a vital platform for expanding trade relations with the global market,” he added.

In 2024, as part of the Armenian delegation’s visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran, our company signed a memorandum in the Chabahar Free Economic Zone, which will open up broader opportunities for cooperation and enhance trade relations with Asian countries.

Garant Logistics offers air transportation for swift deliveries.  Cooperating with leading airlines, the company provides express delivery services, including the transport of valuable and perishable goods.

Our specialists design optimal routes and ensure prompt customs clearance, reducing delivery times while preserving the quality of the goods,'' he noted.

In the field of land transportation, Garant Logistics has achieved significant milestones. As a result of extensive efforts in 2024, the company now offers fast cargo transportation from any city in China to Armenia, primarily utilizing the Khorgos and Kashgar checkpoints at China’s land exits.

"This  was a real challenge for us, as previously we lacked the experience of carrying out cargo transportation along this route. Considering the importance and advantage of this checkpoint and especially the overload at the Khorgos land checkpoint, our team compiled a list of problems and developed a roadmap to address them. Now I report that at this moment we have implemented the first shipment from Shanghai, China to Yerevan with unprecedented, fastest cargo transportation times."

From providing a truck to any location in China, to formalizing export procedures and delivering goods at transit checkpoints, all the way to the final destination specified by the customer, the entire shipment process is managed by our team. We have members not only in Armenia, but also in China and other transit countries. Numerous factors influence delivery times, and due to this fact, cargo from Shanghai to Armenia can arrive in 20 to 30 days," said Nikoghosyan.

Land routes from China to Armenia via Central Asia and Iran enable the delivery of goods in the shortest possible time. Compared to traditional sea transportation, this method reduces delivery time by 30-40%. These land routes offer greater independence and flexibility, reducing possible frequent delays at seaports, disruptions in air transportation, and other external factors. Such transportation also helps optimize logistics costs, which is particularly important for small and medium-sized businesses in Armenia.

"The development of land routes stimulates exports and imports, creates jobs, and attracts investment. It is also worth noting that Garant Logistics is actively involved in initiatives related to the development of the North-South international corridor, which enhances Armenia’s transit potential.

Armenia has significant potential and, if properly organized, could become a key logistics hub for transporting goods between Asia and Europe,'' he concluded.
