The influence of the customs system on the logistics system under the conditions of the state of martial

Abstract

The authors show that the government of our country makes every effort to create conditions for sustainable development of the country. The article describes the role and influence of the customs service on the economic activity of the state. It is substantiated that the State Customs Service of Ukraine plays an important role in the development of the Ukrainian economy, performing the function of a regulator between the needs of the Ukrainian population and the existing offers of importers, between the protection of the domestic producer and available imported goods, between the functions of filling the state budget and duty-free importation of goods. It was determined that the speed of delivery and the cost of goods depend on the activities of customs authorities. Representatives of the Ukrainian government see the leading role of customs and logistics support in the supply of goods, therefore, at the state level, all efforts are made to simplify the activities of customs authorities. The authors show that the state was preparing for military actions by the Russian Federation, in particular, in 2018 the government approved the procedure for the logistical support of the defense forces during the performance of tasks for the defense of the state, protection of its sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability. It was determined that the government of our country from the first days of the war worked effectively to ensure the needs of the military and the population with the necessary goods and products, establishing a zero rate of customs payments for export/import goods, determining the list of humanitarian goods and introducing a simplified regime for their customs clearance. It has been proven that despite the above-mentioned measures taken by the government and the operational activities of the customs, there are problems caused by too great a load on the western border, the lack of equipment at customs checkpoints in accordance with such a load, and the inadequacy of customs logistics centers with modern Ukrainian needs on the western border. The authors suggested, taking into account the conflicting relations with the Russian Federation as a result of the attack and Ukraine’s future membership in the EU, to improve the technical support of customs checkpoints, to contribute to increasing their number on the western border and to promote the development of customs logistics centers on the western bor der. The purpose of the study is to conduct an analysis of customs and logistics support in the conditions of martial law and to substantiate the directions for its improvement. When conducting research, we used such methods as synthesis, analysis, induction, deduction. The results. The government should create conditions for improving customs and logistics support on the western border and promote the development of customs and logistics centers. Conclusions. In further research, we should analyze what has been done to build customs checkpoints on the western border and develop favorable conditions for the development of customs logistics centers on the western border of Ukraine.
