Looking for a freight forwarder for transports to Georgia? Speed Logistics organises your Georgia transport as a seamless end-to-end service: collection throughout Germany, main leg via the proven land corridor through Bulgaria and Turkey, complete customs clearance and delivery in Tbilisi, Batumi or Kutaisi. The distance is around 3,800 kilometres, the transit time is 8 to 11 working days.
Georgia is a non-EU country – without clean export and import documents the truck stands at the border. Our dispatch team therefore accompanies your shipment around the clock, takes care of T1 transit papers and customs clearance, and quotes you a fixed price in advance, usually within a few hours of your enquiry.
Scope of services: direct run, part load, sea and air freight
For Georgia transports we deploy the right vehicle – from the 3.5-t sprinter van for urgent spare parts to the 40-t articulated truck for full loads:
- Dedicated direct run without transhipment to Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi – ideal for sensitive and high-value goods
- Part loads and consolidated freight for shipments from one pallet on the Caucasus lane
- Sea and air freight as an alternative, for example via the Black Sea port of Poti or as air freight to Tbilisi
- Premium handling with shipment insurance, GPS tracking and temperature-controlled vehicles on request
Route and transit time to Georgia
The main leg runs via Romania or Bulgaria into Turkey and on via the Sarpi border crossing on the Black Sea coast into Georgia. Over around 3,800 kilometres we calculate 8 to 11 working days – depending on border clearance and traffic situation. For urgent shipments, a drive with a two-driver crew noticeably shortens the lead time.
How your Georgia transport works
1) You send us the key data – collection point, destination address, weight, dimensions, goods value. 2) You receive a fixed-price quote within a few hours. 3) We dispatch collection and main leg, prepare the customs documents and report every status change. 4) Delivery in Georgia including import customs clearance and proof of delivery.
Customs clearance Georgia: T1, commercial invoice, ATA Carnet
As a non-EU-country specialist we handle the complete customs clearance from EXW to DDP: export declaration in Germany, T1 transit procedure for the transit, commercial invoice and packing list as base documents, as well as import customs clearance in Georgia via experienced partners on site. Thanks to the free trade agreement between the EU and Georgia (DCFTA), goods of preferential origin benefit from customs preferences – we advise you on the EUR.1 and the declaration of origin. For exhibition goods and temporary exports we arrange the ATA Carnet.
Typical goods and industries on the Georgia lane
Between Germany and Georgia we mainly move machinery and plant for energy and mining projects, equipment for hotels and tourism as well as high-value consumer and capital goods. High-value shipments we run to TAPA-FSR-oriented security standards, pharmaceutical goods GDP-compliant and on request temperature-controlled. You receive a dedicated contact, live tracking and, after delivery, a documented proof of receipt – for plannable, on-time Georgia transports from a single source.
Vehicles and equipment for the Caucasus lane
Depending on shipment size we dispatch curtain-sider and box vehicles from the 3.5-t sprinter van and 7.5- and 12-tonne trucks to the articulated truck with 13.6 loading metres. Sensitive electronics and plant parts run on air-suspended vehicles with lashing systems, temperature-sensitive goods in a refrigerated vehicle with continuous recording. This includes load securing to regulations and sound packaging advice: over 3,800 kilometres with several border crossings, the preparation determines the condition of the goods on arrival. Return loads from Georgia to Germany we dispatch as a round trip – this improves freight costs in both directions.
