Georgia Revenue Service Customs, VAT & Vehicle Excise
Georgia calculates import charges according to the vehicle’s customs classification and characteristics. The Revenue Service’s official HS-code system shows the applicable VAT, excise, import duty, exemptions, and required customs documents for the exact commodity code, which is why the VIN, engine specification, age, fuel type, and customs value should be checked before shipment.

Georgia’s Revenue Service states that import charges can include import tax, VAT, and excise depending on classification.
- VAT: 18% under Georgia’s import-tax framework
- Import Duty: may be 0%, 5%, 12%, or a fixed/specific rate depending on the commodity code
- Excise: differentiated according to the applicable vehicle classification and characteristics

- Vehicle Customs Declaration: imported motor cars are cleared using the applicable vehicle/customs declaration procedure.

- Re-Export Market: Georgia is a major regional vehicle trade hub, so commercial buyers should distinguish permanent Georgian import from re-export treatment.
