Market Entry
UHOM provides a complete market entry infrastructure in Georgia — free zone setup, customs navigation, distributor matching, regulatory compliance, and a permanent physical presence in front of buyers across the Caucasus and Central Asia. One partnership replaces a full local subsidiary.
What UHOM Handles for You
Every stage of market entry covered — so your team focuses on the product, not the paperwork.
Free Zone Company Setup
We guide you through company registration in Georgia's free industrial zones — Poti, Kutaisi, or Tbilisi. Zero corporate tax, zero import-export duty, established within days.
Customs & Trade Agreement Navigation
Georgia's preferential trade agreements with the EU, China, Turkey, and the CIS create real cost advantages — if your HS codes and documentation are structured correctly.
Distributor Matching
We connect you with vetted distributors, importers, and trade partners across Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Central Asia. We match capacity to demand.
Regulatory & Certification Support
We identify requirements for your product category, manage certification, and ensure documentation is market-ready before shipment.
Sales Agent Network
Our regional sales network covers active buyers: architecture firms, developers, project owners, and procurement offices with active budgets.
Georgia's Trade Position — Why It Matters for Your Product
Georgia is not a large market. It is a strategic position. A single legal entity established here gains access to multiple trade corridors: EU DCFTA gives preferential or zero-tariff access to EU member states. The FTA with China reduces duties for manufacturers targeting Chinese-funded infrastructure in the region. The FTA with Turkey covers one of the most active construction markets adjacent to Georgia. CIS agreements maintain trade frameworks with former Soviet markets. The Middle Corridor — the trans-Caspian route connecting China, Central Asia, the Caucasus and Europe — runs through Georgia, increasingly competitive with northern alternatives.

Georgia's Free Industrial Zones — A Structural Advantage
Georgia operates several free industrial zones — in Poti, Kutaisi, and Tbilisi. Zero corporate income tax on profits generated within the zone. Zero import and export duty on goods moving through the zone. Zero VAT on transactions within the zone. Zero dividend tax on profit distributions. Registration can be completed within days. UHOM has established relationships with the relevant authorities and legal partners to make this process efficient for our partners.
Explore Free Zone BenefitsCommon Questions from Manufacturers
Do I need to register a company in Georgia to work with UHOM?+
Not necessarily as a first step. UHOM can represent your brand in the expo center and on the digital platform while your company evaluates the market. Many partners begin with expo presence and move to formal registration once demand is confirmed.
How long does a full market entry take?+
Free zone company registration under two weeks. Expo activation typically takes four to six weeks from contract signing. Regulatory certification runs in parallel.
Can UHOM find distributors for my specific product category?+
Our distributor network covers tile and stone, sanitary ware, doors and windows, facades, insulation, and construction technology. Where a direct match doesn't exist, we identify and approach candidates on your behalf.
What languages does your team operate in?+
English, Russian, and Georgian. English is the working language for international partnerships; Russian for CIS, Turkish, and Chinese manufacturers; Georgian for local communications.
How does free zone status affect my existing export setup?+
Free zone registration creates a separate legal entity — it does not require changes to your existing corporate structure or export arrangements at home.
