The article also reveals negative consequences of the replacement of the RF Customs Code with the Customs code of the Custom Union  of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, which has posed a problem of unifying and legal regulation of liability for smuggling. The author has studied the question as to the time limit for a voluntary reunification of a crime is possible under art. 188. Another point discussed here is the liability of people having committed smuggling and officials employed in the customs agencies, other state bodies, state corporations, military men. It is stressed that the code provides for a liability for committing smuggling abusing   corporate opportunities  and applying violation against the person implementing customs control. Having examined some aspects, the author expresses disagreement with the decrees of the RF Supreme Court.
