Improving the customs control system through its prospective digitalization as part of the development of Russia's economic security system
The relevance of the article is due to the permanent transformation of the world economy and the need for appropriate modernization of the system of ensuring economic security of Russia, including in the framework of foreign economic activity. A clear example of this is ensuring compliance with the food embargo, an active participant of which is the customs service of the Russian Federation. In this regard, when writing the work, the goal was to analyze the prospects for improving the customs control system through the development of digitalization in the aspect of ensuring economic security in Russia. The objectives of the study are to identify the main problems in the field of customs control, to form proposals for improving customs control at all stages of its implementation by expanding the use of information technologies. The research methodology is system analysis, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis with elements of forecasting. Based on the results of the study, the main measures for the development of the customs control system were identified both at the stage of preliminary information and at checkpoints, and after the release of goods. First of all, the basis for improvement is the digitalization of customs activities, the expansion of interaction with other public authorities, taking into account the testing of positive global experience, as well as the corresponding modernization of the regulatory framework. A separate direction for improving the efficiency of the Russian customs service is the development of a risk management system, both in terms of methods and tools, and through the use of artificial intelligence elements. In conclusion, it is concluded that digitalization has a positive impact both on the basic foundations of the Russian customs service and on the system of interagency interaction. However, this process needs legislative support.
