Current challenges of customs cooperation within the framework of Eurasian integration

The article aims to identify current challenges and limitations in the development of customs cooperation within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and to assess their impact on deeper economic integration. Based on the analysis of academic research, as well as statistical and regulatory materials of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the study examines institutional and practical aspects of interaction among customs authorities of the member states. Despite the establishment of a common customs space, significant problems remain, including inconsistent law enforcement practices, insufficient transparency of trade statistics, challenges of digitalization, and external sanction pressures. The article substantiates the need to strengthen coordination mechanisms, expand digital customs tools, and improve data transparency in order to enhance integration processes within the EAEU.
