Georgia is the most open car market in the Caucasus: it applies no maximum vehicle age, and clearance is comparatively straightforward, which is why it also serves as a transit and re-export point into Armenia and Azerbaijan. Duties are assessed on engine capacity and age rather than a flat percentage.
| Age limit | No maximum vehicle age for imported vehicles — unusual for the region. Diesel vehicles must meet at least Euro 5 or import is prohibited. |
|---|---|
| Steering | Left-hand drive only (right-hand drive not permitted). |
| Import duty & taxes | Customs tariff commonly calculated as 0.05 GEL per cubic centimetre of engine capacity, plus 5% of that amount per year of vehicle use; VAT 18% on CIF plus duty. Excise tax scales with engine size and age. Hybrids get a reduced excise (about 60% lower than petrol, 2025); electric vehicles are exempt from excise and VAT, a benefit at least until end-2025. Some sources cite a flat 5% duty instead — confirm the current method. |
| Main ports / entry | Port of Poti on the Black Sea is the primary entry point; Batumi is also used. Overland entry from Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan is common. |
| Authority & certification | Georgian Revenue Service (customs); Service Agency for registration and technical inspection. Imported vehicles must pass a Georgian technical inspection. |
| Required documents | Original foreign registration certificate, commercial or proforma invoice, original bill of lading, customs declaration, Tag/Title application (form MV-1v), Form T-22B, passport or ID. |
Figures indicative and sources differ on the duty method (per-cc tariff versus flat 5%). Georgia sets no vehicle age limit, requires Euro 5 for diesel, and grants EV and hybrid tax relief on a time-limited basis. Confirm current rates with Georgian customs or a licensed broker.

EZ Auto is based in China (Zhengzhou, Henan) with 15–20 years in the country's car export trade. We export new and used Chinese vehicles to Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan through the Caspian and overland corridors, handling China export clearance and full documentation. Local import clearance is arranged by the buyer or a licensed broker; we provide all paperwork and per-country guidance. We do not operate local offices in the Caucasus — every car is sourced and inspected in China before shipment.
Real feedback from the importers we serve
I took a Zeekr 9X, a Geely Monjaro and a Deepal S05. Quality is up to standard, prices are fair, and the loading was done even faster than planned. All three cars arrived without a single hitch. Thanks to the EZ Auto team — we will be back. (Translated from Russian)
We received a Geely Galaxy M9 and a Changan CS55. Both cars are new, fully equipped, and everything matches what was agreed. The managers are always reachable and helped organise the delivery. We plan to expand our range together with EZ Auto. (Translated from Russian)
I ordered two vehicles from EZ Auto: a Jetour Dashing and a Jetour X70 Plus. The cars arrived as described and in very good condition. The team replies quickly and follows the file through to delivery. I will do business with them again. (Translated from French)
