PREREQUISITES FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF THE JOINT TRANSIT PROCEDURE IN UKRAINE

Purpose. The aim of the article is to study the prerequisites for the effective application of the joint transit procedure in Ukraine. Methodology of research. The following research methods were used in order to achieve the defined goal of the study: induction and deduction, theoretical generalization, abstraction, dialectical cognition – when studying scientific sources and researching theoretical aspects of the implementation of the joint transit procedure, determining the categorical apparatus of the selected issue; abstract and logical – for summarizing theoretical propositions, forming conclusions and proposals on the topic of research. Findings. The advantages and peculiarities of the implementation of the joint transit procedure in Ukraine have been determined. The need to create appropriate conditions for the full implementation of this mechanism has been updated. First of all, this concerns the establishment of active work with business in order to maximize interest in the application of this customs procedure.

In addition, the expediency of ensuring close communication with business entities has been determined, through holding seminars, round tables, meetings, consultations and posting relevant information in the form of infographics and materials on the official website of the State Customs Service.
