Аннотация:As the analysis of practice shows, the current regulatory legal acts of the customs service of the Russian Federation are not aimed at eliminating environmental threats when importing goods that are harmful to both industrial use and personal consumption into the territory of the Russian Federation. The article introduces the concept of «customs ecology», which is to a greater extent focused on the implementation of the provisions of the Law «On Environmental Protection». The author's recommendations allow us to develop an effective mechanism for customs control after release, which guarantees a balance of measures to ensure the economic security of the state, promoting the development of international trade.
