Car Shipping Batumi
The second largest city in Georgia, Batumi, is strategically situated on the Black Sea coast, making it an important seaport. With manufacturing and ship-building industries boosting the city's economy, it contributes to the national GDP. After becoming independent, the country stabilized and became one of the emerging forces in the region.
If you plan on staying here for a couple of years, it is best to import your vehicle as the country lacks an auto manufacturing industry. Thus, most of the imported cars are very expensive, so it is cheaper to import your vehicle here. To make vehicle imports easy due to the incessant demand for cars, the laws about imports are flexible while the spare parts for Japanese and U.S-made vehicles are readily available.
A1 AT works with you at every step to ensure a smooth transit and delivery of the car or any other vehicle that has to be moved. For additional details and the latest updates, you can contact the Embassy of Georgia

Documentation for import
As per the rules and regulations, before you send out the vehicle from the USA, you must notify U.S. Customs at least 72 hours before the car is shipped. It is essential to get the clearances in advance so that there is no delay in moving the vehicle. The Georgia Revenue Service also requires validating the documents before the import is considered legal. Some of these essential documents include:

- Title deed.
- The bill of sale includes details on the engine/chassis number, VIN, make, and model.
- Insurance documents.
- Residence visa/Work permit for Georgia.
- Import license.
- Passport and driving license of the vehicle owner.
As per the tax regulations, all imported vehicles must pay 18% VAT and 12% customs duty, based on the cost, insurance, and freight charges. If you are planning to live here temporarily or for a short time, say about a year, you have the option of temporary import and can extend it for another 12 months. However, if you are importing it permanently, you must pay all the taxes. The import duty is not levied on a temporary permit, but you have to pay 18% VAT as bank security.
Additionally, one of the specifics of importing vehicles to Georgia includes the requirement for notification of cargo. This is mandatory due to security requirements in the country. The Customs department must be notified about the vehicle import in advance to verify the authenticity before it comes into the country. We take care of all aspects of the vehicle shipment and logistics, including getting all of the permits and validations in advance.

Your car can be hauled onto a ship in one of two main ways. This includes Roll-on/Roll-off hauling in which your vehicle is driven directly onto the deck on its wheels and unloaded from a designated parking spot. When you disable the car alarm and drain the AC gas, you cannot place any of your belongings inside the car. You may bring your household items and car with you when carrying the container. As a result, the costs will change based on the mode of dispatch you choose.
