Can you bring a weapon to Georgia?

• Weapons

  depends on specifics

  The Revenue Service brochure lists "Weapons or explosive" among the goods for which permits and/or certificates must be submitted at customs, and any import that is restricted or needs a permit must be declared.

  In practice this means firearms, ammunition and explosives cannot simply be carried in; a permit from the competent Georgian authority is required first. The brochure doesn’t say which authority issues permits for visitors, or how knives, air weapons and self-defence sprays are treated — don’t assume an ordinary tourist can obtain a permit, and check with Georgian authorities before travelling with anything that could be classed as a weapon.

  Also covers: weapons, firearms, guns, ammunition, knife, explosives, pepper spray
