Special attention in terms of argumentation of the need and specifics of the legal justification and regulatory consolidation of dispatching is paid to the positive effects of such a mechanism, which, in the author's opinion, are an integral manifestation and condition of full-scale digitalization and automation of customs authorities, established as a target for the development of the customs service of the Russian Federation until 2030, designed to ensure operational regulation and redistribution of the declarative array. To optimize the burden on officials, shorten the period of release of goods, simplify and accelerate customs operations, ensure uninterrupted registration of electronic customs declarations, and eliminate the possibility of interaction between declarants and customs officials is aimed at reducing the likelihood of corruption offenses.   The authors used both general scientific methods (abstraction, induction, deduction, hypothesis, analogy, synthesis, typology, classification, systematization, generalization, and others) The same applies to special methods of scientific knowledge typical of jurisprudence (comparative law, historical, formal law, legal hermeneutics, system-structural, legal modeling, and others). The novelty of the scientific research lies in the applied proposals developed on the basis of the results of a comprehensive analysis of the existing sources of the EAEU law and the legislation of the member states on customs regulation, law enforcement practice regarding the legal justification of dispatching customs declarations in the Russian Federation as an integral direction in the implementation of strategic directions for the development of the customs service, providing for the formation by 2030 of a qualitatively new, rich "artificial intelligence", a rapidly reconfigurable, informationally connected with internal and external partners, a "smart" customs service that is invisible to law-abiding businesses and effective for the state, especially in terms of creating a "smart", flexible, information-rich, self-adjusting risk management system, as well as implementing and improving the effectiveness of the anti-corruption mechanism in in the customs sphere.

The authors study in detail such concepts as customs legal relations, customs control, customs regulation, customs business, customs administration, customs policy, customs law, customs legislation and others. Special attention in the framework of the study is paid to providing a comprehensive analysis of these concepts, taking into account the specifics of approaches to their understanding in various spheres of public relations.

The scientific novelty of the research lies in the conclusions and proposals aimed at improving the basic terminology of customs law, based on ensuring uniform approaches to the unambiguous definition of the basic concepts of customs law, which do not contradict the current legislation and are aimed at its development. The authors substantiate the critical importance of unifying the understanding of customs law terms in order to achieve a unified customs regulation, uniformity of law enforcement practice during customs control and customs operations both in the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union and in the Russian Federation. A special contribution of the authors is the realized attempt to integrate the approaches of the legislator, representatives of legal and economic sciences to the definition of customs law concepts as the only guarantee of effective regulation and management of public relations in the field of foreign economic activity.
