Georgia acceded to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) in 1994. This means CISG applies to Russian-Georgian goods contracts by default, providing a neutral international legal framework. The builder's contract is governed by Russian law; Russia is a party to the Convention, so it applies under that law as well.

Alternatives: the sea route via Novorossiysk to Batumi or Poti (ferry and container service); air freight Moscow — Tbilisi/Batumi for urgent and high-value cargo.
