NOTIFICACIÓN DE CONF ORMIDAD CON EL ARTÍC ULO 22 DEL  
ACUERDO RELATIVO A L A APLICACIÓN  DEL ARTÍCULO VII  
DEL ACUERDO GENERAL SOBRE ARANCELES  
ADUANEROS Y COMERCIO  DE 1994  
ARMENIA  
Respuestas de  Armenia  a las preguntas del Canadá que  
figuran en el document o G/VAL/ W/214  y relativas a  
los document os G/VAL/W/208 y G/VAL/W/213  
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 16 de noviembre de 2018, se distribuye a petición de la 
delegación de  Armenia . 
 
_______________  
 
 
La República de Armenia (en lo sucesivo denominada " Armenia ") ofrece la siguiente respuesta a una 
pregunta formulada por el Canadá en el documento  G/VAL/W/214  sobre el sistema de precios de 
referencia de Armenia en relación con la valoración de mercancías . 
La pregunta del Canad á se refiere a la anterior legislación aduanera de Armenia, que no ha estado 
en vigor desde 2015, cuando Armenia pasó a ser miembro de la Unión Económica Euroasiática 
(UEEA) . En Armenia, la determinación del valor en aduana de las mercancías importadas se rige por 
la legislación de la UEEA y, en particular, por las disposiciones contenidas en el capítulo 5 del Código 
de Aduanas de la UEEA.  
Con respecto a la pregunta planteada po r el Canadá nos gustaría aclarar lo siguiente : 
1. De conformidad con el Código de Aduanas de la UEEA , las autoridades aduaneras no 
utilizan "precios orientativos" ni "precios de control" cuando efectúan la valoración de 
las mercancías . Las autoridades aduaneras de la UEEA utiliza n indicadores de l valor, 
que son valores validados previamente por los declarantes y aceptados por las 
autoridades aduaneras y que se emplean al aplicar la gestión del riesgo al control  
aduanero . 
2. Según el Código d e Aduanas de la UEEA, el método de deducción se define en el 
artículo  43. 
3. El método del precio de transacción para determina r el valor en aduana se define en el 
artículo 39 del Código de Aduanas de la UEEA . De conformidad con el Código de Aduanas 
de la UEE A vigente, cuando se aplica el método del precio de transacción, no hay límites 
en casos en los que el valor en aduana de las mercancías declaradas es 
significativamente inferior o superior al  valor en aduana más alto o más bajo de 
mercancías idénticas o s imilares , determinado previamente por el método del valor 
de transacción .
