The effective solution of the set tasks has led to the creation of an economic union, the effective functioning of which is directly related to the proper regulation of foreign economic activity of economic entities and reliable protection of foreign economic relations from a criminal offense. The creation of an interstate association is connected to the adoption of a significant number of international legal acts, the satisfactory implementation of which is impossible without the harmonization of national legislation of the member-states, including in relation to of regulating foreign economic activity within the limits of the customs union and liability for violation of these regulations.                                                                  It is concluded that member-states do not fulfill their obligations to make changes and additions to the national criminal legislation that reflect the legal features of establishing criminal liability for customs crimes.                                                                                                                           Recommendations for changing the national criminal legislation of each country that is part of the economic union are proposed, taking into account the content of international law – the law of the Eurasian Economic Union, which performs a regulatory function in determining the range of public foreign economic relations that need criminal protection.

Тhe value of the “subjective right” of the multinational people of the Russian Federation is the ensuring
that the state guarantees their rights and freedoms, primarily those enshrined in Articles 2, 17, 18 of the
