In the context of digital transformation and sanctions pressure, the digital customs of the Russian Federation are becoming crucial for ensuring economic security. An analysis of data from 2021 to 2025 showed that the share of electronic declarations reached 99% of the total number of submitted declarations, while the share of declarations registered automatically was 86.4% in 2025 (compared to 82.1% in 2021) [13, 19]. According to experts, cyber incidents were one of the factors contributing to delays in customs clearance in 2023. The implementation of artificial intelligence elements in the risk management system helps optimize control procedures, but it requires additional investments in infrastructure and personnel training. Systemic threats have been identified, including the incompatibility of information systems and the shortage of specialized professionals. To ensure the sustainable development of foreign economic activity, measures have been proposed for regulatory standardization, digitalization of educational programs, and strengthening international cooperation within the EAEU. The sustainable functioning of the system is only possible with a balanced development of technologies and ensuring cybersecurity.
