Importing and Registering a Foreign Vehicle in Georgia (2026)
TK Counsel Georgia · 30 March 2026
Light vehicles imported or registered in Georgia may be subject to environmental and technical standards published in government acts on Matsne. Euro levels, year cut-offs, and duty rates are not stable marketing facts—they must be checked against the decree in force on your import date.
Temporary import
Temporary admission may allow a foreign-plated vehicle for a limited period; extension or local registration may be required. Overstay risks fines and enforcement. Confirm rules with customs and MIA / police.ge materials.
Permanent registration
The Service Agency (often Rustavi for certain steps) processes registration when customs clearance and technical compliance are satisfied. Insurance and inspection steps may apply.
Duties and eco-related charges
Customs value, age, and engine characteristics drive tax. Model before you buy shipping.
