RAMPA Georgia Medical Device Classification & Registration Guidelines
Commercial importation of medical devices and sterile disposables into Georgia is strictly governed by the Regulation Agency for Medical and Pharmaceutical Activities (Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons, Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia). Importers and foreign manufacturers must comply with the established regulatory pathways to secure marketing authorization and import permits:
Notification & Fast-Track Recognition: Georgia operates one of the most streamlined medical device import regimes in Eurasia, recognizing CE mark and ISO 13485 with fast-track notification.
Local Distributor Registration: Consignee must be a registered legal entity in Georgia with commercial trading rights.
Technical Files: ISO 13485:2016, CE Certificate of Conformity, Certificate of Free Sale, and manufacturer declaration.
Liberal Customs Regime: Georgia's automated 'e-Customs' enables clearance within 24 hours at Poti Port or Tbilisi Airport Customs Terminal.

Shipping Corridors & Customs Clearance into Georgia
Reliable logistics are paramount to maintaining hospital inventory continuity. Containerized and air cargo freight originating from India's industrial hubs (Mundra, Nhava Sheva, and Mumbai Air Cargo) connects directly to primary entry hubs serving Georgia:
Primary Ports of Entry: Port of Poti (GEPTI) / Port of Batumi (GEBUS) / Shota Rustaveli Tbilisi International Airport (TBS)
Ocean Container Transit Time: 20 to 24 sailing days from Nhava Sheva/Mundra to Port of Poti via Black Sea feeder
Air Cargo Express Transit Time: 12 to 24 hours air cargo to Tbilisi (TBS)
Container Optimization: Mixed 20ft and 40ft High Cube containers combining gloves, blades, syringes, gowns, and catheters under a single unified ocean bill of lading.
Logistics & Transit Intelligence: Georgia
Direct container services discharge at Port of Poti or Batumi on the Black Sea coast, connected by electrified railway and express highway directly to Tbilisi logistics warehouses.
Customs Tariffs, Value Added Tax & Distributor Profit Margins in Georgia
Importing medical disposables into Georgia offers advantageous tariff treatment when managed with accurate classification: Georgian Lari (GEL) / USD, 0% customs duty on medical supplies under Georgia's liberal trade policy, 0% VAT on medical products.
By contracting directly with Manshav Impex as an Indian primary manufacturer, wholesale importers in Georgia eliminate intermediary trading margins, consistently achieving 30% to 44% gross margin across commercial pharmacy and surgical center networks. This margin buffer empowers local distributors to aggressively win public tenders (Evex Medical Corporation, Geo Hospitals, Aversi Clinic Network, and Tbilisi Central Hospital) while maintaining healthy cash-flow margins across private healthcare channels.
