Yea there's that MTCR agreement they have. Can't export cruise or ballistic missiles that have a range 300+ km. That's why we see things like Klub limited to 300. So each country has to develop their own long range cruise missiles. The agreement is voluntary though, nothing binding. Cruise missiles are still real expensive though, regardless if it's Russian, US, or Chinese. The engines themselves are complex and difficult to make, sophisticated guidance system, etc means they will always be expensive. And it's a one shot weapon, unlike spending $20 million on a fighter that they can use for decades. So I doubt many small countries will ever have large stockpiles of long or even medium range cruise missiles. Plus you need huge numbers of them to actually make a difference. And air defense against them is getting better and better. So for smaller countries it's just a waste of the money that they can't afford to waste.

@leprechaunbutreallyjustamidget US has sold many land attack cruise missiles to other countries. JASSM to Australia, Finland, Poland. SLAM-ER to Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Taiwan, South Korea.
