Сustoms control as a digital ecosystem
Introduction. In the context of active reform of state control and supervision, rapid digitalization of control and supervisory mechanisms, relatively new approaches to the study of state control and supervisory activities, their types and directions are being formed. One of these scientific approaches is the ecosystem approach, the approach based on positioning control and supervision as a digital ecosystem. The article attempts to consider modern customs control as a digital ecosystem. Theoretical analysis. The concept of an ecosystem comes from the theory of natural scientific knowledge, but is firmly embedded in the field of social sciences. It is beginning to be used by specialists in relation to state control and supervision. The use of the ecosystem concept in relation to customs control is fully justified from the point of view of the level of digitalization of customs control. The digital ecosystem of customs control includes: the regulatory framework of customs control; the system of customs authorities; principles of legal regulation and implementation of customs control; control and supervisory procedures and information systems. Empirical analysis. It was revealed that the digital ecosystem of customs control is manifested in the use of a risk management system, the positioning of digital profiles as objects of customs control, the development of digital services, and the emergence of new customs control tools (customs monitoring). Results. Based on the conducted analysis, several interpretations of the digital ecosystem of customs control were identified: the digital ecosystem of customs control as a reflection of the level of digital maturity of customs control; the ecosystem approach as a modern principle of customs control; the concept of a digital ecosystem as the basis for a methodological approach to studying customs control in modern conditions; the digital ecosystem as a criterion for assessing the level of interaction between participants in control and supervisory legal relations; the digital ecosystem as an indicator of the degree of openness and trust within a given system.
