Customs administration is the functioning of the organizational system of customs 
management, which, in fact, becomes a tool for implementing the regulatory and fiscal 
functions of customs authorities, improving the reliability and quality of border goods 
movement and reducing the level of violations of customs rules. Customs 
administration is the “productive resource of customs authorities” that largely 
determines the efficiency of using productive resources (technologies, technics, 
information, materials, people) and the effectiveness of the customs system itself, the 
results of which are evaluated by the relevant economic, social and other indicators.
In the field of customs, it is necessary to administer not bureaucratically or 
formally, but, as A.Fayol pointed out, «to administer means to anticipate, organize, 
manage, coordinate and control». Based on this, the essence of customs administration 
as a special type of state administration in the field of customs is determined by the 
fact that special importance should be attached to its implementation «
…management 
procedures, its principles, laws, and connections of numerous elements that form a 
single system». 
Interpretations of the concept of «customs administration» by representatives of 
legal science have a similar content, but within the framework of the legal system of 
society. Thus, O. Y. Bakayeva understands customs administration «...administrative 
legal activities of customs authorities aimed at promoting the development of foreign 
trade and providing services to persons moving goods and vehicles across the customs 
border, as well as performing fiscal, law enforcement and control functions»

Customs administration is designed to create favorable conditions for attracting 
investment in the national economy, ensuring full receipt of customs payments to the 
national budget, protecting domestic producers, intellectual property and maximum 
assistance to foreign trade and effectively fighting administrative offenses and crimes. 
The successful organization of customs administration determines implementation of 
socio-economic issues, development of foreign economic activity, the reform and 
modernization of customs service, character of its impact on society in acceptable 
forms of perception for the mass consciousness. It contributes to the realization of the 
state’s interests in foreign trade and
the development of national production of goods 
and counteracts threats to national security. 
The main features of customs administration as a management activity of customs 
bodies include the following: 

simple and quick implementation of customs clearance; 

selective and qualitative implementation of customs control using risk 
management system; 

for participants of foreign economic activity, transparency of action carried out 
by customs authorities and introduction of possibility of correcting actions carried out 
by customs authorities in real time are established, mutual cooperation is established 
with them, all irreplaceable contradictions and uncertainties in customs legislation are 
interpreted in favor of participant of foreign economic activity.
