Abstract
The increasing volume of counterfeit products in international trade is a serious problem that threatens the socio-economic development of any country and negatively affects its economy. The problem of counterfeiting in the world, as well as in the Russian Federation, is currently very acute, since low-quality goods of unknown origin cause not only economic damage to the state and market participants, but also pose a significant threat to the life and health of citizens, especially when it comes to counterfeit medicines or food. Therefore, the need to combat the turnover of counterfeit products is becoming urgent. One of the main methods of struggle designed to prevent the appearance of counterfeit goods on the domestic market is customs regulation, which is carried out by customs authorities. The Federal Customs Service of Russia and its structural divisions play a crucial role in combating illicit trafficking in counterfeit products, actively using the full range of tools and methods at their disposal to prevent counterfeit products from entering the country's domestic market. Despite the difficulties that have arisen at the present stage of customs control due to the unfavorable external economic situation, the customs authorities manage to fulfill their tasks related to protecting the domestic market from counterfeiting, ensuring a high level of economic security in the country.
