Georgia’s Customs Department refused customs clearance and returned goods in 2,658 cases in 2025, Georgian Dream Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said in his International Customs Day address on January 26, when he claimed Georgia’s compliance with international sanctions.
“The Revenue Service of the Ministry of Finance is in constant and active coordination with international partners on the enforcement of sanctions,” Kobakhidze said at a special ceremony marking the occasion, attended by Georgian Dream cabinet members and representatives of the Customs Department.
“Our Customs Administration exercises strict control to fully prevent Georgia’s territory from being used to circumvent sanctions,” he stated, adding that the 2,658 instances of refused customs clearance and returned goods “clearly confirm our country’s responsible approach to global security and once again underscore Georgia’s reputation as a reliable international partner.”
