Importing used Korean cars to Georgia
Georgia is the Caucasus region's established used-car re-export hub, with a long-running culture of importing from Korea and Japan through the Rustavi market near Tbilisi. EncarExport gives Georgian buyers direct, self-serve access to Encar's full live catalogue and every car's official Korean inspection record, arriving via the Black Sea ports of Poti or Batumi.
Import rules - Georgia
- Vehicle age limit
- No age limit
- Steering
- Left-hand drive - all our Korean cars are LHD
- Duty & taxes
- 5% import duty on the vehicle's CIF value plus 18% VAT, plus an excise tax per engine cc that rose sharply on 2 April 2026 — as of that date, approximately 1.5 GEL per cc for cars 6 years old or newer and about 4.5 GEL per cc for cars older than 6 years (cars 30+ years old pay a flat, lower classic-car rate). These figures change; confirm the current rate with us before committing to a purchase.

- No age limit on importing a car into Georgia, but a car generally needs to meet the Euro 5 emissions standard to be registered and plated — in practice this makes roughly pre-2013 vehicles difficult to register.
- Georgia is unusual in permitting both left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive vehicles; all Korean stock is left-hand-drive, which is fully accepted.
- Georgia is the used-car re-export hub of the Caucasus, centered on the Rustavi market near Tbilisi — cars arrive via the Black Sea ports of Poti or Batumi.
