How much cash can you bring across the Georgia border (e.g. Sarpi checkpoint) without declaring it?

Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 22 days ago

TL;DR

The duty-free cash limit is 3000 GEL (or equivalent in foreign currency). If you carry it openly in your hand luggage rather than hiding it, customs usually won't stop you.

What the community said

The undeclared cash limit at the border is 3000 GEL. Just carry the money openly in your hand luggage instead of hiding it, and you'll almost certainly have no issues.

A fine issued during a previous crossing is tied to the person, not the car — you may still be asked to pay it even if you cross the border in a different vehicle.

Rumors about a $3000 fine supposedly for car customs clearance when carrying cash are false — there's no such requirement.
