Georgia reports January to September merchandise-trade results

Verified facts

• Geostat’s external-merchandise-trade portal reports preliminary January–September 2026 turnover of US$20.5347 billion, exports (FOB) of US$6.1530 billion, imports (CIF) of US$14.3817 billion and a trade balance of minus US$8.2288 billion. The portal notes that figures are preliminary and rounded totals may not equal component sums.
• The release is an aggregate merchandise-trade dataset. It does not identify a specific HS classification, origin, destination, product standard, importer, retailer, end user, port/border, carrier, customs declarant, warehousing condition, contract, creditworthiness, price or collection result.
• The same Geostat structure distinguishes exports, imports and domestic exports and publishes datasets by period and classification. Aggregates can guide screening and questions; they cannot prove that a particular item is produced locally, accepted by a channel, eligible for import/export, profitable or suitable for a named counterparty.
• World Bank trade resources and WTO tariff/data tools provide independent trade-analysis context. Neither substitutes for the current customs classification, origin, conformity, sanctions/export-control, product-specific tax/duty, counterparty, logistics, insurance and settlement evidence required for a movement.
