General Trade License in Georgia
Several People asked me regarding the General Trade License in Georgia and I want to revert to this question in today’s blog. I believe people are concerned about this since in some countries they export, import or trade goods or products like clothes, accessories, furniture, electronics, etc. However, in Georgia it is not like this. You can establish and start Importing and Trading this kind of goods without any special license. In other words, you can chill, since you are not obligated to acquire license prior to start trading. As you would see above, there are certain types of trade activities only where you are required to obtain a license in Georgia, just like:
* General licence to trade in military weapons of warfare
* Licence to trade in certain types of weapons
* Permit to export, import and re-export species entered into the annexes of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
