Summary/Abstract: Participation in international cooperation on state customs is an essential component of Ukraine’s foreign policy. Active reform of Ukraine’s customs system and changes in customs law in the context of European integration processes need a current analysis of our country’s customs authorities’ engagement in international cooperation. As a result, the article examines the main regulations governing customs cooperation between Ukraine and the EU, as well as Ukraine’s participation in major international organisations, which served as the primary impetus for its accession to international agreements on the simplification and harmonisation of national customs procedures. It is concluded that there is now a detailed regulatory framework in place that allows Ukraine’s customs authorities to establish and maintain international customs relations, both with foreign customs authorities and with international organisations whose statutory activities include customs cooperation.
