После ратификации этого Соглашения Россией прошло пять лет. Целью данного исследования является оценить степень реализации Соглашения в Российской Федерации и определить основные проблемы и перспективы в данной сфере внешнеторговой политики на сегодняшний день. В статье проводится анализ подходов различных научных школ о роли мер упрощения процедур торговли в экономическом развитии стран. Далее авторы проводят качественный анализ данных о реализации мер в России вместе с применением оценки количественных показателей по различным категориям мер содействия торговле.В результате анализа мировых научных исследований были получены выводы о том, что упрощение процедур торговли приводит к снижению транзакционных и торговых издержек, однако связано с определенными затратами на изменение нормативно-правовой базы и инфраструктуры. На сегодняшний день Россия добилась впечатляющих результатов по многим направлениям реализации Соглашения ВТО по упрощению процедур торговли по сравнению с ситуацией в мире. Однако, во-первых, стоит уделять внимание не только обязательным мерам Соглашения, но и не являющимся обязательными и не входящим в данное соглашение. Именно такие меры способствуют усилению торговли в современных условиях развития торгового сотрудничества и цифровизации экономик. Во-вторых, авторами представлены рекомендации по развитию ряда мер, которые на сегодняшний день требуют особого подхода и реализация которых значительно упростит экспортно-импортные операции. Наконец, в России необходимо проводить постоянный комплексный мониторинг всех применяемых мер по упрощению процедур торговли для достижения их большей результативности.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The implementation of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement introduces a significant impact on enhancing trade flows between countries. Five years have passed since Russia ratified this Agreement. The goal of this study is to assess the implementation process of trade facilitation in the Russian Federation and to identify the main challenges and prospects in this area of the Russian foreign trade policy today. The paper firstly discusses various research approaches on the role of trade facilitation measures in the economic development of countries. The authors then conduct a qualitative analysis of the data on the implementation of measures in Russia and provide quantitative estimates for some categories of trade facilitation measures.The literature review demonstrates that trade facilitation leads to lower transaction and trade costs, but it is also associated with certain costs of changing the regulatory framework and infrastructure. In the implementation of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement from the perspectives of many categories, Russia has today achieved impressive results in comparison with the world practice. However, firstly, the Russian Federation should pay attention not only to the mandatory measures of the Agreement, but also to those measures, which are advisory and are not included in the Agreement. Those measures substantially contribute to the trade under the modern conditions of trade cooperation and digitalization of economies. Secondly, the authors present recommendations for the development of trade facilitation measures, which today require a special approach and the implementation of which will significantly simplify export-import operations. Finally, Russia needs to conduct continuous comprehensive monitoring of all applied trade facilitation measures in order to achieve their greater effectiveness.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>упрощение процедур торговли</kwd><kwd>Российская Федерация</kwd><kwd>ВТО</kwd><kwd>международная торговля</kwd><kwd>внешнеэкономическая деятельность</kwd><kwd>торговые издержки</kwd><kwd>безбумажная торговля</kwd><kwd>цифровизация</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>trade facilitation</kwd><kwd>the Russian Federation</kwd><kwd>the WTO</kwd><kwd>international trade</kwd><kwd>foreign trade activity</kwd><kwd>trade costs</kwd><kwd>paperless trade</kwd><kwd>digitalization</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке РФФИ и Академии общественных наук Китая в рамках научного проекта № 19-510-93009.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The research was conducted under financial support of the RFBR and Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, project no. 19-510-93009.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Баландина Г.В., Пономарев Ю.Ю., Синельников-Мурылев С.Г.
