https://doi.org/10.30764/1819-2785-2016-4-5-12
Abstract
The paper characterizes procedural actions performed by forensic practitioners and law enforcement personnel working in customs. It substantiates the need to update the legal framework behind the system of continuous forensic support of various operations within the system of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation. A system of technical forensic support for customs operations is offered for consideration. The practical significance of the proposed set of actions by the system's agents is linked to the increasing importance of detection of major and minor customs offenses, as well as the need for a more detailed approach that specifies the essence of activities incorporated into continuous forensic support and enhancement of the forms of interaction with customs authorities at all levels of state control.
