| Annotation: | This article examines the platformization of cus toms administration in the Russian Federation and the Eura sian Economic Union from the perspective of economic theory and criminal law. The authors analyze the economic mecha nisms underlying digital platforms, which facilitate the illicit trafficking of dual-use goods and technologies. The relevance of this topic stems from the large-scale digital transforma tion of the Federal Customs Service of Russia and the simul taneous increasing complexity of customs crimes committed in the platform economy. The purpose of the study is to iden tify the economic effects of the transition to a platform-based customs administration model and to systematize the crimi nal law risks arising during this transformation and posing a threat to national security. The methodological framework is based on a systems approach, institutional analysis, compara tive legal research methods, and statistical analysis of customs law enforcement data. An analysis of the evolution of customs administration from the automation of individual operations to the formation of a comprehensive digital platform is conducted. It is established that the current regulatory framework of the Rus sian Federation is not fully adapted to the specifics of the digi tal environment, in which export control entities are becoming networked, transnational, and anonymous. Contradictions are identified between the economic efficiency of platform solutions and the increasing criminal risks associated with smuggling, customs evasion, and the use of forged documents in for eign exchange transactions. A classification of criminal risks in the context of the platformization of customs control is pro posed. Directions for improving legal regulation and organiza tional mechanisms for ensuring national security in the sphere of the state’s foreign economic activity are substantiated. | ||
