The doctrinal approaches to the definition of corruption are considered. The statistics of the growth of criminal cases of corruption in the customs bodies of the Russian Federation over the past five years is shown. The reasons for corruption in customs bodies are investigated, among the most serious of which, according to the authors, is the absence of a personal example among the leading members of customs bodies.
