The main ideology of this Concept is based on the principle "from customs control to service-oriented customs administration" (further - the principle "from control to service") based on the national digital platform "Smart of Bazhy" (further - NTsP "Smart of Bazhy").

Such approach promotes increase in efficiency, acceleration of procedures and cost reduction for business.

This vision represents synthesis of international standards, modern technologies, experience of the successful countries, economic need and requests of business that provides transition from the system oriented mainly to control and check to system which puts in priority service quality, transparency and partnership.

The ideology of transition to the principle "from control to service" is proved by the following key factors:
