The customs service needs continuous modernization in order to be in
line with the other economic areas in the fourth industrial revolution. There
is a need to identify the technical barriers of software and hardware that
stand in the way of modernization and optimization of the customs clearance
process. The author aims to formulate the necessary recommendations for the
technical barriers that put obstacles for future digitalization of custom trade
services. Also, it is important to estimate the influence of technical barriers
upon volume of international trade between different states and in Custom
Unions like European Union.
