Foreign Ministry warns Georgian citizens driving cars bought in Europe to Georgia

Georgia’s Foreign Ministry has released a statement in which they warned Georgian citizens who buy cars in  Europe and then  wish to return to Georgia via Greece.

The Ministry states that Greece, at its checkpoints, demands the export declaration for such cars. 

Such declarations are generally issued in European countries where the cars are bought.

In the case of absence of the export declaration, Greece issues a fine of €500.

 In many cases Georgians have to pay the fine as they do not have information over the obligation,” the Ministry states.

The Ministry stresses that Georgians involved in car exports can obtain more information over the issue on the webpage of Georgia’s General Consulate in Salonica
