INTRODUCTION
The main task in the creation of customs
authorities in different countries of the world
was fiscal goals, that is, the collection of taxes
and customs duties on the import and export
of goods, as well as control over foreign
economic activity. Later, other functions were
transferred to the customs authorities.
According to legal scholar David Widdowson,
the main task of customs authorities in
developing and least developed countries is to
collect revenues, since import duties make up
the majority of government revenues [1].
The transition of our country to market
relations, the growth of foreign trade relations,
the growth of passenger traffic across customs
borders, the growth of personal and national

security of citizens, the introduction of
generally recognized modern technologies and
the process of economic integration with the
world. requires reforming the system in
accordance with modern requirements
MAIN PART
In the Logistics Performance Index of the
World Bank, Uzbekistan ranks 99th out of 160
countries with a score of 2.58 [2]. When
compiling the rating, criteria such as the
convenience created in the customs clearance
mechanism, including the introduction of an
electronic system, were taken into account.
Deeper integration of the Republic of
Uzbekistan into the world economy, its
membership in international economic and
political organizations requires it to reform the
foundations of foreign economic activity,
which, in turn, requires a revision of customs
policy. The regulatory and legal framework in
the field of customs, harmonization of customs
policy came to the fore on the agenda. In
particular, important documents adopted by
the state in the field of customs in 2018, new
procedures and opportunities introduced are
aimed at further liberalizing foreign economic
activity, increasing the competitiveness of local
export organizations.
In this regard, the Decree of the President of
the Republic of Uzbekistan of April 12, 2018 "On
measures to radically improve the activities of
the State Customs Service of the Republic of
Uzbekistan" played an important role.
According to the decree, from July 1, 2018, the
permits issued by the customs authorities for
the placement of goods under customs
regimes, the change in the direction of
movement of foreign carriers through the
territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan were
revoked. It is stipulated that customs clearance
of the same goods under a foreign trade
agreement is carried out by filing periodic
declarations [3].
Speaking about the conveniences and benefits
created for entrepreneurs in the customs
sphere, one cannot fail to mention the
Presidential Decree of October 17, 2018 "On
additional measures to increase the efficiency
of the export of vegetables and fruits." With
this document, exported fruits and vegetables
are no longer subject to customs inspection
[4].
Also, special corridors have been introduced
for goods and vehicles under customs control.
In particular, from December 1, 2018, the
"yellow" and "red" corridors will be launched,
and from March 1, 2019 - the "green" and
"blue" corridors. This system speeds up the
execution of customs operations when moving
goods across the customs border. It also plays
an important role in identifying, predicting and
preventing violations of customs legislation
The Decree of the President of the Republic of
Uzbekistan dated June 5, 2020 "On reforming
customs administration and improving the
activities of the state customs service of the
Republic of Uzbekistan" has become an
important historical document serving to
create favorable conditions for doing business.
Reforming customs administration, further
improving and increasing the efficiency of
customs authorities, the formation of a "digital
customs", which is a logical continuation and
development of "paperless and electronic
customs", as well as accelerating the
implementation of international norms and

standards in the field of customs, is one of the
main objectives of the decree.
This resolution approved the Concept for the
Development and Improvement of Customs
Activities for 2020-2023 and the "Road Map"
for the implementation of the concept. Specific
tasks have been set, such as the introduction of
the customs information system "Single
Window", reducing the time for customs
declaration of goods from 3 days to 1 day
depending on the level of risk, the integration
of railway transport organizations into the
information systems of customs authorities.
The decree also provides for further
improvement of the regulatory framework in
the field of customs, including accession to the
Kyoto Convention on the Simplification and
Harmonization of Customs Procedures.
Simplification of regulation of foreign
economic activity by tariff and notarial
methods, creation of a system of postgraduate
education (doctoral studies and research
institutes) at the Customs Institute of the State
Customs Committee; Accreditation of the
Customs Institute of the State Customs
Committee in accordance with the professional
standards of the program of the World
Customs Organization "PICARD" (Cooperation
in the field of customs academic research and
development); It is planned to introduce the
practice of organizing paid training courses on
customs issues for participants in foreign
economic activity at the Customs Institute of
the State Customs Committee, to attract
foreign specialists to the educational process.
The decree pays special attention to the
training of highly qualified scientific, scientific
and scientific-pedagogical personnel for the
customs authorities [5].
PROPOSALS
The issue of improving customs legislation in
the Republic of Uzbekistan, and in particular
the activities of customs authorities, is one of
the areas that have not been fully studied. By
studying it, we will be able to further increase
the economic potential of our country in the
future. In this regard, we consider it
appropriate to make the following proposals:
1.
Taking into account the fact that the
customs law of the Republic of Uzbekistan
is still under development, the use of
information
and
communication
technologies in customs law is limited due
to the fact that Uzbek scientists and
researchers
have
not
developed
theoretical literature in this area, despite
the fact that widespread use of
information
technology in
customs,
theoretical
foundations
(textbooks,
manuals, kits and other auxiliary materials)
should be created.
2.
It is necessary to constantly improve the
regulatory framework by concluding
agreements
on
the
exchange
of
information with the customs services of
foreign countries for analytical work and
post-customs checks of mutual import and
export operations.
3.
We propose to include the following
definition in the Customs Code that fully
discloses
the
essence
of
customs
information systems: Customs information
systems - a system in which the customs
authorities automate such functions as
input, storage, processing, verification,
analysis, logical control of information in
the relevant areas of customs activities.
Normative legal acts aimed at regulating
customs information systems It is

advisable to take into account the
classification of customs information
systems.

In accordance with the current legislation,
the Chairman of the State Customs
Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan is
approved by the President of the Republic
of Uzbekistan on the proposal of the Prime
Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan and
dismissed by the President of the Republic.
Uzbekistan. According to Article 78 of the
Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan,
one of the joint powers of the Legislative
Chamber and the Senate of the Oliy Majlis
of the Republic of Uzbekistan is the legal
regulation of customs, currency and credit
issues. This means that the Oliy Majlis, as
the highest representative div, has the
authority to regulate these areas. In
particular, the Chairman of the Board of
the Central Bank of the Republic of
Uzbekistan, which is the authorized div
for monetary and credit issues, is
appointed and dismissed by the Senate on
the proposal of the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan. Thus, on the
proposal of the President of the Republic
of Uzbekistan to the exclusive powers of
the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic
of Uzbekistan, provided for in Article 80 of
the Constitution of the Republic of
Uzbekistan, we propose to add powers to
appoint and dismiss the Chairman of the
Customs Committee of the Republic of
Uzbekistan.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it should be noted that further
improvement of the regulatory framework in
the field of customs, ensuring transparency
and efficiency of the customs authorities
through the introduction of modern and
advanced information and communication
technologies
in
the
customs
sector,
simplification of tariff and notarial regulation,
foreign economic activity, etc. will bring
reforms in the system to a new level and will
serve the well-being of our people.
