Yerevan/Mediamax/. “HayPost” portal operator has been providing services of postal brokers since 2010.

Spokeswoman of the Customs Service of the State Revenue Committee Nelli Manucharyan stated in an interview to Mediamax today that DHL, FedEx and other similar services do not provide services of customs mediation, which are assigned for postal brokers.
