The Revenue Service of the Ministry of Finance of Georgia informs you that the alarm system installed in the Devdoraki Gorge has been activated. As a result, the high-precision system immediately transmitted an alarm signal to the Kazbegi Customs Checkpoint.

In order to ensure safety, as a result of coordinated efforts with the relevant state agencies, the employees of the Customs Checkpoint, as well as all representatives of the Patrol Police and Border Police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs present at the site, employees of various companies, trucks and passenger vehicles, their drivers and passengers, have been relocated to a protected/safe area. We would also like to clarify that all customs control procedures at the Kazbegi Customs Checkpoint have been suspended.

The import and export of goods across the customs border of Georgia, as well as customs control procedures in respect of individuals crossing the state border through the said Customs Checkpoint, cannot be carried out at this time. Once the risk factors have subsided, the Kazbegi Customs Checkpoint will resume normal operations at full capacity. Accordingly, the movement of passengers and cargo will proceed without interruption.
