“Today, as the global landscape shifts and trade routes are reassessed, our country is establishing itself as a centre of regional stability and logistics. The reforms currently underway in the customs sector are essential to this process,” stated the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, during his speech at the event commemorating International Customs Day.

The Prime Minister highlighted that Georgia has successfully implemented a computerised transit system compatible with the European Union, which, through a single declaration and guarantee, facilitates the smooth movement of goods across the EU and the 39 member states of the Convention.

“Today, as the world re-evaluates trade routes, Georgia is emerging as a centre of regional stability and logistics. The ongoing reforms in the customs sector are crucial to this development. Alongside rising export and import figures, we have successfully introduced a computerised transit system compatible with the European Union. This system, operating with just one declaration and one guarantee, ensures the unhindered flow of cargo within the EU and its 39 member countries. Moreover, with the support of the Asian Development Bank, active progress is being made on joint customs checkpoint projects with Azerbaijan and Armenia, exemplifying regional cooperation at its best,” the Prime Minister said.
