Georgia to introduce new customs code in line with EU standards

A new, European style, customs code will come into force in Georgia in 2019, announces Prime Minister of Georgia Mamuka Bakhtadze.

“With the new customs code we will be able to more effectively integrate Georgia into the global economy”, said Bakhtadze.

Bakhtadze said that the existing customs code failed to respond to current challenges and that is why the government initiated the new customs code.

“We aim to make Georgia the economic centre of the region. Having a customs code that is based on digital technologies and is maximally adjusted to the customers’ interests is a very important prerequisite for achieving this goal”, said Bakhtadze.
