Abstract
Purpose –In today’s world, the prevention and detection of corruption offences are becoming
increasingly important. The most important tasks are to create an intolerant public attitude towards
this phenomenon, to monitor it in dynamics and to develop new ways of combating it, responding to
the development and improvement of criminal techniques.The purpose of this paper is to study the
practice of introducing e-customs, the possible prospects related to the creation of an intellectual
customs office.
Design/methodology/approach –An analytical method was used, including the study of scientific
literature and publications, current legislation, statistics, customs plans and practices and foreign
experience.
Findings –It is indicated that the variability of the nature and methods of committing crimes in the
context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution makes it appropriate to formulate corruption as a formal
offence.
Practical implications –This study may be of use to studentsand academics, as well as practitioners in
customs,law enforcement agencies and legislative bodies.
Originality/value –Suggestions have been made to improve approaches to planning work towards
digitalisation in the customs sector, in terms of analysing and considering the potential for corruption-
proneness and anti-corruption potential of innovations, exploring the use of blockchain for conducting
procedures,maintaining registers and other record-keepingsystems.
