Customs clearance

Any imported goods require proper customs clearance. Georgia have simplified this procedure in the interests of the importing country. In particular, the time previously required a pile of documents for customs clearance, today, you need only 4 types of documents, invoice, packing list, bill of lading and power of attorney for the person who will arrange the goods. May require certificates of origin of the goods, but this is extremely rare.

During customs clearance, you need to closely monitor the actual volume of cargo and what is written in the document otherwise you will have to pay a fine. Especially often it happens with goods from China, Iran and some other countries of the middle East. For example, from China brought a batch of lighters -in documents it was spelled out that the aid consists of 10 thousand lighters, but in reality, when counting, it was found that in vehicles 11 thousand pieces. Cheating in a thousand lighters turned out quite noticeable fine.

So better not to risk it, especially as the cargo passes through one of three corridors monitoring – green, yellow and red. And in which of them gets your is known only to the computer system.

it is also Important to keep in mind that unlike the customs services of many countries in Georgia to offer the customs officials bribes is not only useless, but fraught with consequences. Instead, you are provided with a formal opportunity to "work on mistakes": the cargo is unloaded into a temporary warehouse, recalculate it and check. After correction of defects the goods again pass the customs procedures. So the specialists of "cargo Market" managed to settle the case "GL-traiding", which imported alcoholic beverages.
