Flower import to Georgia is a growing and profitable business — holidays, events and steady daily demand keep cut flowers and live plants in constant demand. But a flower is living plant produce, and bringing it across the border is subject to phytosanitary control. To clear it correctly and quickly, you need an experienced declarant. ganbajeba.ge handles the full customs clearance of flower cargo — from preparing Form 3 to the eCustoms declaration, in 1 business day.

Flower import — three stages
- Phytosanitary certificate — accompanies the cargo and is obtained by the exporter in the country of origin. It confirms the flowers are healthy and meet phytosanitary requirements.
- Form 3 — the common phytosanitary entry document, completed in Georgia on the basis of that certificate. This is exactly what we prepare.
- Customs declaration and release — we file the declaration in eCustoms and the cargo is released for import.
All three stages are connected — if one paper is missing or filled in incorrectly, the cargo is held at the border. That is exactly why it is better to entrust your flower import to an experienced broker from the very start.
Flower import and phytosanitary control
Because a flower is plant produce, its import is mandatorily subject to phytosanitary border control. Documents are checked, the cargo is visually inspected and, if in doubt, a sample is taken. Once control is passed successfully, Form 3 is completed and the cargo is released for import. The full process, required documents and fees are described in detail on the page Phytosanitary Control / Form 3.
Which flowers and plants are subject to control
- Cut flowers (roses, tulips, chrysanthemums, etc.)
- Potted and decorative live plants
- Bulbs, tubers and nursery stock
- Seedlings and saplings
Almost all live plant cargo is subject to phytosanitary control, so when planning a flower import this stage should be taken into account in advance.
