How much do iPhones, gold and clothes cost in Georgia?
Is it worth buying electronics, jewellery and branded clothes here?
Short answer
iPhones and other Apple devices in Georgia cost roughly the same as in Europe, cheapest from official resellers during promotions, while unofficial sellers may offer devices without a warranty. Gold jewellery is priced on the world gold price plus workmanship. International clothing brands are often dearer than in Europe, so sales and Tbilisi Outlet Village are the best bets.
Why
- Prices for electronics and clothing include 18% VAT, which tourists cannot reclaim in most shops.
- Electronics over 300 GEL imported by parcel are subject to VAT, which affects resellers' prices.
- Gold items in jewellers carry a hallmark, which is worth checking.
Details
When buying an iPhone, check it supports the SIM cards you need and that the warranty is valid in your country. Always get a receipt for expensive purchases.
Tip
Compare electronics prices at official stores and resellers, and check the warranty.
What may differ
Prices depend on the lari rate, sales and the shop, and resellers may offer no warranty.
