Transit activity through Georgia’s transport corridor has seen a slight decline in 2025. Official data from the Revenue Service shows that 229,000 transit trailers crossed Georgian territory in the first half of the year, a 4% decrease compared to the same period last year. On average, up to 1,300 trailers use the corridor daily, each paying a 350 GEL transit fee, which brought in 80 million GEL in revenue for the state budget.
Notably, Armenia remains the most active user of Georgia's transit route, accounting for 57,500 trailers so far this year, a 2% increase from the previous year. In contrast, the number of trailers from Azerbaijan (38,600) dropped by 2%, and those from Turkey (37,000) saw a more significant 16% decline.
Meanwhile, concerns have emerged in the Armenian media, claiming that Georgia is hindering the transit of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cargoes destined for Armenia. According to these reports, tightened customs controls at the Georgian border have contributed to a 40% increase in LPG prices within Armenia.
BMG has reached out to the Georgian Customs Service for clarification regarding these claims and will provide updates once an official response is received. Despite these allegations, Georgia’s Revenue Service has not yet confirmed any changes in customs procedures related to Armenian cargo.
The transit situation continues to attract attention, especially given Armenia’s dependence on Georgia as a key transit route.
