Abstract: The article discusses some current issues of the customs system and customs policy of Georgia, which are based on its historical excursion. The paper aims to study such important aspects of the implementation of the customs policy in Georgia, which serve to deal with the modern challenges of protecting the domestic market from foreign goods competition and stimulating exporters, for which the issues of harmonizing the customs system and customs legislation of Georgia with the customs system and customs legislation of the European Union are very important. Since the day of gaining independence, Georgia has recognized the European course of economic development, and accordingly, the main vectors of the formation of the customs system, customs policy and customs legislation were implemented taking into account the experience of the EU countries. The formation of the customs system is a difficult and complex process, for which the development of a perfect legal framework regulating the customs system has a special role. The goal of harmonizing Georgia's customs legislation with the European Union is based on real economic results. The study of the current situation and the analysis of statistical data reveal that the measures implemented for the approximation of the customs legislation with the European Union do not bring results. The reason for saying this is provided by the statistical data on the current state of trade relations between Georgia and the EU countries presented in the paper and the dynamics of the last period, according to which no positive trends in this direction can be observed. The paper offers recommendations and proposals that, along with the changes in legal norms, will contribute to the deepening of trade relations with the European Union and the strengthening of economic ties.
