How do you send a parcel from Russia to Georgia?
Russian Post, courier services and the duty-free limit.
Short answer
You can send a parcel from Russia to Georgia by Russian Post, courier services or freight companies that carry goods through Upper Lars. Personal parcels worth up to 300 GEL and weighing up to 30 kg enter Georgia free of duty and VAT. Above that, the recipient pays 18% VAT and a declaration fee.
Why
- Customs rules for parcels are applied by the Revenue Service of Georgia.
- The 300 GEL limit usually includes delivery costs as well as the goods.
- Several identical new items in one parcel may be treated as a commercial shipment.
Details
Postal items are collected at a Georgian Post office with your passport and tracking number. Check medicines, electronics and food for restrictions in advance, as separate rules apply.
Tip
Describe the parcel's contents in detail and include the recipient's Georgian phone number for faster delivery.
What may differ
Timing and price depend heavily on the method: post is slower and cheaper, couriers and freight firms faster.
Common misconception
Parcels from Russia don't reach Georgia now.
What actually happens
They do: post, couriers and freight companies all work, though delivery takes longer.
