Armenia is landlocked, so the figure that decides the price is not which of two ports but how the goods finish their journey overland through the Caucasus — settled shipment by shipment rather than assumed. Galvanised iron (GI) and malleable iron (MI) threaded fittings come from the Dubai stock or direct from Brazil, both costed to the delivered point.
There is no port of entry to name. Goods reach Armenia overland, through a transit country and a forwarder the buyer usually already works with, and the last leg is a real share of the landed cost rather than a rounding error. That changes the arithmetic: consolidating a larger order and moving it once is often worth more here than shaving the sea freight.
Both origins are costed. The Dubai stock suits mixed orders and anything needed before a production run could be booked; a container from Brazil suits a settled quantity. Tell us where the goods have to finish and both numbers come back in one quotation.
The steady demand is gas and water: distribution and service connections, building services and heating work. Galvanised iron (GI) fittings in BSP carry the water side; gas work is where TUPY's DVGW approval is the relevant document rather than a general assurance.
Threads follow BSP as a rule - the taper and parallel threads of EN 10242 and ISO 49. NPT to ANSI B16.3 is available from the same foundry where a contract is written to American practice, and both can travel in one order.
The foundry is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 under Bureau Veritas oversight, and the mill test certificate and certificate of origin travel with every Armenian consignment.
Where a project or authority requires a local conformity registration in addition to the above, that is handled per project with the consultant and the importer of record.
For Armenia the quoted range runs across elbows, tees, sockets, unions, bushes, nipples, plugs, caps, crosses and their reducing versions, 1/4in to 6in, galvanised and black, BSP and NPT Class 150 and 300, and the TUPYPRES press-fit system. Every figure, dimension and weight is on the site.
Overland on the last leg, through the transit route and forwarder the buyer nominates. The sea leg is either from Brazil or from the Dubai stock - both are costed so the complete landed figure can be compared.
TUPY holds DVGW approval, which is the document gas distribution work asks for. It is held by the manufacturer in Brazil and covers the figures identified in the catalogue.
Yes, from the Dubai stock, where there is no container minimum. Because the overland leg is a real cost, consolidating into fewer, larger movements is usually worth discussing.
Yes. NPT to ANSI B16.3 in Class 150 and Class 300 is available from the same foundry as the BSP range; send the specification so the thread form and class are confirmed before quoting.
Send the figures, sizes and quantities and both routes will be quoted - ex-stock Dubai and direct from Brazil - so the landed cost can be compared.
