Special aspects of establishing a single automated information system of customs clearance of transit goods between countries of the Caucasus

Harnessing and further development of the transit potential of Georgia are closely linked to the country’s overall socio-economic development, effective use of its advantageous transport-geographical location and, in general, the successful functioning of the Eurasian transport corridor. The growth in the volumes of freight flows and increasing competitiveness in the transport corridor, along with other factors, depends on the effective work of customs services of the countries located across the corridors. The establishment and implementation of a Single Automated System of Customs Clearance and Control of Transit Goods will be a step forward in effective management and control of transit procedures, which will significantly reduce the time of customs clearance of transit goods and contribute to the reduction of financial costs of the economic operators.
