Increase in Fees Charged by Georgia for Transit and Re-Export Transport

Dear Member,

In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, with reference to the letter dated 23.06.2022 received from the Directorate General of Exports of the Ministry of Trade, it is stated that the Tbilisi Commercial Counsellor's Office has reported that, following the start of Russia's attacks on Ukraine, demand for the Georgian route in road freight transport has increased; that, due to this congestion, the Georgian Customs Administration has increased its number of staff and made efforts to clear the backlogs and long truck queues; that the long queues that had built up at certain points such as the Red Bridge border gate have been cleared; and that congestion at other points has been eased.

The same letter also reports that, with the transit congestion in Georgia, the daily fee charged at truck parks was increased from 30 GEL to 80 GEL as of 15 May 2022, and that the transit fee of 200 GEL charged to freight vehicles using Georgia for transit and re-export transport will be applied as 350 GEL from 20 June 2022 by a decision published in the official gazette (https://matsne.gov.ge/ka/document/view/5487605?publication=0)

Kind regards,

Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
