Cars lead Georgia’s re-exports, but numbers slide by 24%
Full story
Vehicles were the leading category in Georgia’s re-export figures, but the reported total fell by 24 percent. Re-exports involve products entering Georgia and then being shipped onward to another country. Experts cited in the report believe that some of the counted cars were later re-exported to Russia. Georgia therefore served as an intermediate trading point for part of the vehicle flow. The 24 percent drop represents a sizeable contraction in the category that led the trade. The account does not state the precise comparison period or provide a breakdown by vehicle type, route, and value.
