The qualified types of cash and (or) monetary instrument smuggling

The paper deals with the qualified types of cash and (or) monetary instrument smuggling. The current difficulties of the smuggling qualification are mainly considered in the form of hypotheses and mental models. At the same time, the development of the situation can turn them into an urgent practical task in the short term. The research reveals that the common customs law of the member states of the EAEU determines the need to harmonize criminal legislation of these countries in the field of liability for smuggling, including cash and monetary instrument smuggling. The study eliminates several constraints on the smuggling qualification set forth in Article 200.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation related to the voluntary refusal to commit an offense (smuggle) and the qualification in case of multiple offenses.
