This article examines the transformative impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and electronic systems within Ukrainian customs operations and their broader societal implications. At the core of this exploration lies the pivotal role of ICT integration in modernizing the Ukrainian Customs Service amidst global challenges, exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study assesses the benefits, challenges, and implications of “electronic customs” and IT-driven reforms, focusing on the three pillars of sustainability, customs operations, and digital culture. Objectives encompass an evaluation of ICT’s significance in enhancing border management efficiency, addressing challenges, and leveraging opportunities through technology-driven customs initiatives. Synthesizing academic publications and governmental reports, the article provides comprehensive insights into the transformative potential of technology in customs management. Notably, the implementation of anti-corruption measures, particularly through the Single Window system, emerges as a successful endeavor in curbing malpractices while streamlining customs procedures. However, challenges persist, including swift adoption, cyber fraud risks, and systemic issues within customs authorities, necessitating phased implementation and continuous improvement. Ethical reflections on technology integration into governance mechanisms, educational reforms, and inclusivity discussions underscore the broader societal and philosophical shifts catalyzed by electronic customs. This sustainable digital evolution emphasizes ongoing ethical considerations to navigate the evolving role of technology in shaping governance, societal integration, sustainable customs operations, and the inherent alignment of digital technologies with the key objectives of sustainable development. \u0000Keywords: customs operations, digital culture, sustainable development, Single Window, cybersecurity, Information and Communication Technology, societal impact, ethical framework, cultural shifts","PeriodicalId":46519,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Sustainable Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139687223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The descriptive-analytical and econometric approaches were used to display the concepts and literature review relevant to the study as well as to analyze the interrelationships between the sectors of the national economy, which are represented in: the added value of (the manufacturing sector, the non-manufacturing industries sector, the service sector, and the agricultural sector) using Vector Auto- Regression model (VAR) and Impulse Response Functions.
