CURRENT PROBLEMS OF GOODS IMPORT STATE REGULATION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN MODERN CONDITIONS
The purpose of the study is to identify certain, most pressing problems in the field of state regulation (SR) of the import of goods of the Russian Federation (RF) in modern conditions, based on the data of analysis of the main trends in the collection of payments by customs authorities, and their transfer to federal budget revenues, as in general volume, and when importing goods into the Russian Federation; as well as the establishment, taking into account the rating of developing countries-users, of the Unified System of Tariff Preferences of the Eurasian Economic Union (USTP EAEU), the inclusion of which among the users of this system is economically unfeasible. The designated goal was achieved on the basis of the results of the analysis of customs statistics data on customs payments collected and transferred to the federal budget, as well as the World Bank's annual data on the gross national income per capita (GNP) of the countries of the world. In the course of the study, such general scientific methods as generalization, comparison, comparative analysis, deduction, induction, graphical method were used, which made it possible to systematize and analyze the relevant data of customs statistics and interpret the results obtained. Since, in terms of the achieved level of economic development, the EAEU member states lag significantly behind individual countries that have the status of developing countries and receive, in this connection, the right to impose customs duties on goods originating and imported from them at reduced (preferential) rates, it was concluded that there is an economic the inexpediency of granting a preferential trade regime in foreign trade (FT) with these countries. At the same time, the emphasis was made on the fact that these countries already have the status of countries with a high level of economic development. In this regard, the adoption at the level of the EAEU of a decision on revising the lists of countries-users of the EAEU ECTS and excluding from them 75 out of 103 developing countries and 2 out of 50 least developed countries is very timely and relevant. At the same time, the status of a country-user of the USTP EAEU will be retained for those countries that really need such economic assistance.
