1,500 Vehicles and Tbilisi Clearance – Scalable Assurance for the Caucasus Dedicated Line

The reliability of a dedicated line depends on capacity scale and customs clearance capability. The capacity foundation of the Georgia TIR Dedicated Line is LHZ-TIR's network of 1,500 TIR vehicles, including 300 dedicated car carriers exclusively for China-Georgia vehicle TIR transport. Tbilisi's customs clearance capability is the critical link ensuring rapid entry of goods into Georgia and the broader Caucasus market.

LHZ-TIR has deployed over 1,500 owned and partnered TIR-qualified vehicles across key logistics nodes including Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, and Germany, including 300 dedicated car carriers, each capable of loading 8 passenger vehicles. The fleet covers temperature-controlled trucks, semi-trailers, curtain-siders, flatbeds, car carriers, and other types. All vehicles have local license plates in their respective countries, operating freely within their territories and across TIR corridors, avoiding clearance risks associated with Chinese-plated vehicles traversing multiple countries. With 100,000 square meters of self-operated bonded warehouses at Alashankou, Horgos, and Kashgar in Xinjiang, the line ensures efficient cargo assembly and reloading. The Georgia TIR Dedicated Line operates weekly scheduled departures, increasing to daily during peak seasons, never suspending operations due to vehicle shortages.

Georgia has implemented the Authorized Economic Operator system and is actively promoting customs modernization. Tbilisi Customs gives priority inspection to TIR vehicles, with TIR carnets enabling sealed shipments to pass through transit countries without inspection. Poti Port, as a core port on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, now hosts the largest multimodal container yard in the Caucasus region with an annual design handling capacity of 80,000 TEUs, directly connecting to the Black Sea shipping network and providing access to Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and other Black Sea coastal countries. The continuous completion of the E60 highway has further enhanced Poti Port's land collection and distribution capabilities. Standard clearance time in Georgia is 2 to 4 hours, with AEO-certified enterprises eligible for further simplified procedures.

The combination of scalable capacity and efficient customs clearance makes the LHZ Georgia TIR Dedicated Line a vital corridor for automotive trade in the Caucasus region. LHZ Auto Georgia Operations Center (www.lhzauto.ge) completes bulk exports of Chinese brand vehicles through this line, with full-chain control from sourcing to delivery.
