Rules change, and customs officers enforce them. This page describes how the rules are built, not the amounts, which change often. For the exact allowance, limit or banned list that applies to you, use the official customs authority below, and when in doubt, declare. This is general information, not legal advice.

Personal allowance for goods

Travellers have an allowance for goods for personal use and gifts. Goods above it, and goods for sale, are charged duty and tax.

Alcohol and tobacco

Adults have allowances for alcohol and tobacco for personal use.

Food, plants and animals

Food, plants and animals are controlled for health reasons and may need certificates or be refused.

Cash and valuables

Cash above a set amount must be declared on entry and exit.

Medicines and banned items

Bring medicines in original packaging with a prescription. Illegal drugs, weapons and counterfeit goods are banned.

What to watch for

Check the customs authority's current rules before you travel; allowances and banned items change.

Understand the legal system first

Georgia belongs to the Civil law family. Customs law is made by the state, so it is useful to know how the legal system works.
