Digital Customs constituted a means, rather than an end in itself, and the
aim should not be to digitalize the existing bureaucratic processes, but to re-
view them rst in order to achieve the best possible result

From the author
Dear friends, colleagues!
We are continuing a series of publications on the activities of the World Customs Organization. This time, the study touches upon the development of the digital customs institute.
To date, experts of the customs bloc of the Eurasian Economic Commission (hereinafter – EEC), together with the Customs Administrations and economic operators of the Member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter – the EEU) have begun to establish the institution of digital customs. This issue is complex and at the same time interesting, promising from the standpoint of de­veloping the theory of international, administrative, customs law as well as im­proving customs regulation in the EEU Member states.
Modern research in science on this subject are presented by individual sci-
entic publications, which investigate the issue of creating electronic customs.
At the same time, there are no fundamental developments of an international le­gal nature on the subject of digital customs.
The main problem we encountered in the course of the study is the lack of understanding of digital customs as a complex phenomenon, an instrument of customs regulation, a concept, an approach as well as a combination of organi­zational, legal, technical and technological solutions, etc. Paradoxically, in the presence of the WCO Digital Customs Concept, the Digital Customs Maturity Model as well as the WCO Digital Customs Work Program, the international
customs community did not dene the terms «electronic customs» or «digital
customs». In other words, the conceptual apparatus of the analyzed institution
is not formed.

To date, none of the instruments of the WCO provides an answer to the question of what is electronic or digital customs. This also applies to the Re­vised Kyoto Convention and the WCO IT Guide for Executives. Digital Cus­toms, unfortunately, is considered in a very narrow sense and is actually iden-
tied with information communication technologies (hereinafter – ICT). In our
understanding, this approach is not fully consistent with objective reality.
It should also be noted that the scientic expert community is not aware
of the competencies of digital customs as well as its characteristics, scope, models, management mechanisms, instruments and tools. Moreover, the answer remains to the question about the relationship between digital customs and the e-customs institute, the «single window» mechanism, e-commerce, the autho­rized economic operator, e-declaration, preliminary information, and other customs institutions. An important topic is the analysis of digital customs in the context of customs operations and business processes.
Another interesting problem is the ratio of digital customs with ICT as well as technological solutions in the analyzed area. It is obvious to us that for the development of digital customs within the framework of the WCO, it is neces­sary to develop a separate Digital Customs Guide, and also to issue the corre­sponding Compendium of practices of the WCO Member countries in this area.
In the context of the development of the digital customs institution in the EEU Member states, we turned to the experience of the World Customs Orga­nization and tried to analyze existing approaches, conceptual vision, proposals for the development of digital customs in a single coordinate system. Within the framework of the study, conclusions and suggestions are formulated.
We continue to adhere to the thesis that the WCO is a serious international structure, under whose auspices the international customs community creates modern standards and legal instruments of customs administration. The WCO Secretariat, led by the Director General, provides invaluable assistance in this process. Active cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Commission with this international institution, which brings together experts from customs admin­istrations of the world, began in 2016 after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Eurasian Economic Commission and the World Customs Organization. During this time, the EEC specialists opened doors to

a number of the WCO working bodies, which competence covers various issues of customs administration and trade facilitation. Of course, such cooperation brings positive results.
In the light of the above, we hope that the research material presented to your attention will be useful in the framework of the WCO capacity building as well as the work being done to improve customs regulation based on the WCO standards.
Kind regards,
Sergei Mozer
