A model of the concept of simplified customs clearance of phytosanitary goods

Phytosanitary border-quarantine inspection is a type of non-tariff regulation that is used for importing or exporting goods on the territory of Georgia, to carry out other supervising or inspection procedures on them in accordance with the procedures provided for by law. Goods of phytosanitary origin in the country’s customs checkpoint are subject to the following procedures: the arrival of the goods at the phytosanitary inspection terminal, the arrival of vehicle, implementation of phytosanitary inspection (documentary inspection and stamping), issuing a new complete certificate, software processing of all documents by the logistics officer and their delivery to the information zone, where the documents will be handed over to the owner/customs declarator upon request. All of these customs procedures take some time. Reforms were undertaken in recent years, which were implemented with a view to facilitating the customs clearance, have significantly reduced time spent on customs procedures.
