Georgia's customs regime is relatively straightforward. Under its EU Association Agreement, the country is phasing in CLP-style classification and labelling, so GHS-format SDS are well accepted. Georgian-language labelling may be required for some products. Pharmaceutical substances are overseen by the Regulation Agency for Medical and Pharmaceutical Activities, and controlled precursors or narcotics need permits. Cargo consigned onward from Poti or Batumi to neighbouring countries needs a transit declaration. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.
