   The Handbook was designed as a comprehensive guide, offering detailed insights into the intricacies of customs operations, regulations, and specific procedures prevalent in Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Moldova.

Focusing on the nuances of each country's export control framework, it offers valuable insights into the regulations, licensing requirements, and compliance measures governing the export of strategic goods within the region. Each participating country's export control system is comprehensively designed to enforce international agreements, prevent the illicit transfer of sensitive goods, and uphold national security interests while facilitating legitimate trade.
