Importing Personal Household Goods to Georgia

Duty relief for personal effects tied to change of residence is governed by the Tax Code of Georgia (including provisions often cited around Article 199 for qualifying household goods) and customs legislation on Matsne. Exact percentages, time windows, and definitions change with amendments—verify the current consolidated text and RS.ge customs guidance before you ship.

Personal effects

Used household items for personal use are treated differently from commercial stock. Valuations and commodity codes on the declaration must be defensible.

Prior residence abroad

Exemptions often assume you lived outside Georgia for a minimum period and are moving your main residence. Evidence (employment, tax filings, lease abroad) should match the story on the declaration.

Timing vs residence

Shipping before status is coherent can break the factual basis for relief. Sequence immigration, customs entry, and declaration filing with counsel and your forwarder.

Inventories and translations

Itemized lists in Georgian or with certified translation reduce inspection risk. “Miscellaneous household” invites physical examination and storage costs.
