How customs payments are calculated in Georgia

  1. Customs value: the invoice price plus transport and insurance to the Georgian border, in lari at the National Bank of Georgia rate.
  2. Import duty: the rate of the product code (0 %, 5 % or 12 %) on the customs value.
  3. Excise applies only to excisable goods: alcohol, tobacco, fuel, cars.
  4. VAT 18 % is charged on the customs value plus duty and excise. Passenger cars and motorcycles are VAT-exempt.
  5. The processing fee depends on the customs value and is lower if the declaration is filed in eCustoms before the cargo arrives.

The duty rate depends on the 11-digit product code — look it up in the directory: HS codes of Georgia

A pre-arrival declaration saves 50–200 ₾

When the declaration is registered in eCustoms before the goods enter Georgia, the customs clearance fee is half as much:

Customs valueBefore arrival (row 82)After arrival (row 54¹)Saving
up to 3,000 ₾50 ₾100 ₾50 ₾
3,000 to 15,000 ₾150 ₾300 ₾150 ₾
over 15,000 ₾200 ₾400 ₾200 ₾

One eBroker declaration (up to 30 items) costs 19 ₾, less than the smallest saving. One saved fee pays for eBroker.

The saving comes when the declarant registers the declaration in time: eBroker prepares the draft in a few minutes, so it can be done before the cargo arrives. Exceptions: motor vehicles and the other cases of rows 68, 68¹ and 75 of Resolution No. 96.
