Where are the TIR PARKs located?

By decision of the Government of Georgia, since 2014, in order to regulate queues and avoid delays near customs checkpoints, a truck, regardless of whether it is empty or loaded, is obliged to be placed in the parking lots located near the state borders (so-called TIR PARKs) before appearing at the customs checkpoint. These parks are licensed by the Revenue Service and are integrated into the electronic queue management system for motor vehicles. The service fee for these TIR PARKs is 80 GEL per trailer, in exchange for which drivers receive no services other than queue management. In the event of non-payment of this fee, truck drivers are prohibited from moving toward the state border and subsequently crossing it, a restriction that is constantly monitored by on-duty crews of the patrol police.
