Georgia customs broker · import & export

Classify before shipping.
Clear with the right documents.

English-speaking customs coordination for commercial cargo, exports, vehicles, relocation goods, temporary admission and ongoing import operations across Georgia.

FIRST QUESTIONWhat is it,
where is it from,
and who imports it?
HS code, customs value and origin drive the calculation.

Before cargo moves

One wrong assumption can become storage, tax and delay.

A product’s commercial description is not a customs classification.

We screen the commodity code, documents, importer, origin claim, valuation, taxes and permits before preparing the clearance route. Final assessment remains with the Revenue Service.

Frequently asked questions

Before the shipment arrives.

What does a customs broker do in Georgia?+

A customs specialist reviews classification, value, origin and permits; prepares or coordinates declarations; communicates with customs; and helps resolve documentary questions through release.

What taxes can apply on import?+

Georgia applies 18% import VAT to taxable imports. Import duty depends on the commodity code and may be 0%, 5% or 12%; excise and other charges can apply to specified goods.

What documents should I send first?+

Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, product specification, origin evidence, contract/payment evidence, importer details and any permit or certificate already available.

Does a free-trade agreement guarantee 0% duty?+

No. Goods must meet the agreement’s origin rules and carry the required proof. Shipping from a partner country is not itself preferential origin.

Can you clear household goods or a vehicle?+

These can be assessed, but reliefs, temporary admission, excise, valuation and registration depend on the facts. Send the inventory or vehicle data before shipping.

How quickly will goods be released?+

No fixed time can be promised. Completeness, inspection, valuation, permits and authority workload affect timing; storage and demurrage should be planned.
