Findings. The need for adaptation and improvement of international logistics systems due to the introduction of the principles and advantages of Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 has been identified. The necessity of further analysis of the state of development of international logistics systems in the conditions of formation of the newest mechanisms of realization of logistic activity is established.
