Georgia's Customs System Looks Simple. The Details Decide What You Pay.
On paper, importing into Georgia is straightforward: low tariffs, a flat 18% VAT, a fast electronic system. In practice, the details are where shipments get stuck and money gets lost.
The wrong HS code, a missing certificate of origin, an underestimated excise charge, or an overlooked permit can turn a routine clearance into days of delay and unexpected cost.
Before your goods move, you need clear answers to:
Which HS code applies to my goods, and what will I actually pay in duty and VAT?
Do my goods qualify for 0% tariff under the EU DCFTA or another free-trade agreement?
My cargo is sitting at Poti and storage is adding up. How fast can it be released?
What permits or certificates does this product need?
How much excise will the car I'm importing really cost?
A customs broker answers these before your goods move, not after they're stuck at the border.
