Contract Holder in Import Transactions — Legal Support for Foreign Trade Deals
ALMAZI provides contract holder services for organizing import via Georgia and other destinations. We act as the official party to the foreign trade contract and assume full legal responsibility for the execution of the transaction.
What the Contract Holder Service Means
A contract holder is a company that officially concludes a foreign trade contract with an international supplier, makes the payment, and organizes the import of goods in compliance with applicable legislation.
This model is used when the client does not have its own company for conducting foreign economic activity or when the supply chain needs to be structured through a professional market participant. Customs procedures are carried out through a customs broker in Georgia , ensuring proper completion of the clearance process.
