Transit through Georgia: NCTS data

Transit through Georgia is declared in NCTS, the New Computerised Transit System. eBroker prepares the data for the transit declaration from the CMR and the invoice: goods with Georgian nomenclature codes, the carrier, the offices of departure and destination, and the guarantee.

eBroker itself does not log in to NCTS: an authorised employee of the holder of the procedure enters the data using the filling memo. You spend minutes checking instead of typing every item by hand.

NCTS requires a valid guarantee: the GRN and the access code. Without them the transit declaration will not be registered.

Where the transit declaration is filed

The transit declaration through Georgia is filed in NCTS by an authorised employee of the holder of the procedure. eBroker prepares the data and does not file the declaration on the client’s behalf.

eBroker prepares only the Georgian declaration. Clearance in the country of dispatch is done by the exporter or their broker there.

What to know about transit through Georgia

The transit procedure lets goods cross Georgia without paying import charges, provided the cargo reaches the office of destination unchanged. A guarantee covers this: its amount depends on the charges that would be due on import, which is why eBroker shows it as an estimate.

In the NCTS data, the office of departure, the office of destination, the carrier and the means of transport must be stated exactly, as well as the weight and number of packages of each item. eBroker takes these details from the CMR and invoice and asks you to enter on the shipment card whatever the documents lack.

Product codes are chosen from the Georgian nomenclature in the same way as for import: from the invoice description, with the reason for the choice. If the description is too general, eBroker asks a clarifying question about material, purpose or composition.

Documents can be in English, Russian, Turkish, Chinese or Georgian, including scans and photos. They are stored encrypted for 30 days and then deleted automatically.

Fees and price for transit

Goods placed under the transit procedure are exempt from the customs clearance fee (Resolution No. 96, sub-paragraph «ვ» of article 1⁷).

The fee for filling in a transit declaration in NCTS is 30 ₾ (row 54⁶), but it is not charged when you fill in the declaration in NCTS yourself and are the declarant (art. 1⁹, paragraph 7). If the customs office fills it in at your request, it is 100 ₾ (row 54⁷). Since 1 November 2026, transit of liquefied gas and coal has its own fee per tonne (rows 156³ and 156⁴).

The eBroker price for transit is the same as for import and export: one declaration (up to 30 items) 19 ₾, in a pack from 9 ₾, in broker plans from 1.99 ₾.

Who it suits

Holders of the procedure who fill in NCTS themselves and do not pay the 30 ₾ fee.
Carriers and forwarders who regularly move cargo through Georgia.
Brokers with many CMRs and invoices.
