Abstract

Popel S.A. APPLICATION OF TOOLS OF PRIOR INFORMATION IN THE CONTEXT OF IDENTIFYING SECURITY RISKS: THE EXPERIENCE OF THE UNITED STATES

Purpose. The aim of the article is to study the experience of the United States of America in the application of prior information tools in the context of identifying security risks.

Methodology of research. The following methods were used to achieve these goals: induction and deduction, theoretical generalization, abstraction, dialectical knowledge - in the study of scientific sources and research of theoretical aspects of the use of information tools in the context of identifying security risks, determining the categorical apparatus; abstract and logical - to generalize theoretical positions, to form conclusions and proposals on the topic of research.

Findings. The tools used by the United States Customs Administration to ensure the security of supply chains are the Automated Manifesto System and the Regulations on Import Security Documents.

It has been determined that AMS is an electronic system for transmitting information on cargo imported into US customs territory.

AMS is analysed in the context of: the list of information that must be provided to the carrier to the customs authority; exceptions to the submission of the manifesto (list of goods that do not require prior notification and exemption for individual countries and regions; liability for violation of the rules of submission of the electronic manifest).

It is noted that ISF is a completely new business process that expands the scope of responsibility of the importer and is designed to improve the orientation of the cargo, which consists in detailing information about the goods before loading them in a foreign port. The elements of data submitted by carriers to the ISF, the features of the presentation of preliminary information for transit cargo, the procedure for making changes and corrections to the information provided and the responsibility for violating the rules of submission of the previous message are studied.

Originality. The study of international experience in the use of prior information tools in the context of identifying security risks was further developed.

Practical value. The main points of this study can be used in the process of developing proposals to improve the procedure for applying the general declaration of arrival.

Key words: prior information, security risks, electronic information transmission system, electronic manifesto.
