International agreements and the World Trade Organization (WTO) statutes provide governments of countries with a number of market protection mechanisms. Georgia became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2000 and has signed many bilateral free trade agreements. The mentioned agreements together with the legislation of Georgia form the legal base of customs control.
