The main trends in the development of the world economy in the sphere of customs policy are characterized, such as: trade liberalization, neoprotectionism and digitalization of customs processes, which are aimed at improving trade relations between countries, facilitating adaptation to modern conditions and technologies and increasing the efficiency of all processes in this area. In addition, the instruments of regulation of customs and tariff policy, their changes in the context of globalization and the challenges of the modern world are considered in detail. The Ukrainian classification of goods of foreign economic activity and the main types of rates in the customs tariff, which help to regulate the country’s foreign trade, are considered. A study of the dynamics of the volume of foreign trade operations of Ukraine has been carried out, within the framework of which the low efficiency, which is an indicator of imperfect customs policy in our country, has been proved.
