Cost to import a car from Japan to Georgia
Rates & rules last reviewed
Georgia has earned a reputation as one of the most open vehicle import markets in the wider Caucasus and Central Asian region. The country applies a relatively liberal trade regime with low or zero import duties on many used vehicles, and its Black Sea port at Poti is a key entry point for Japanese cars destined not just for Georgia itself but for neighbouring landlocked markets as well. Both left- and right-hand drive are accepted, and Georgia has historically had no restrictive age cap on used car imports, making it an accessible destination for a wide range of Japanese domestic-market vehicles. Our licensed team handles the full sourcing chain — from Japan auction through to delivery inside Georgia — and because our detailed packet data for Georgia is still being compiled, our licensed team confirms the exact current duties, fees and registration requirements for your specific car.
