Customs status of fish and fish products caught by Russian vessels outside the EAEU common customs territory

The article considers a set of issues related to the determination of the status in customs legal relations of fish and fish products received (manufactured) by Russian vessels fishing (or production of fish products) outside the state territory of Russia. The analysis shows that the methodological underdevelopment of approaches to determining the “customs status†of Goods significantly hampers the activities of fishing companies in the Arctic region of our country, which fish not only in the territorial sea, but also in the Exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation (EEZ), as well as in the World Ocean. The purpose of the work is to study the peculiarities of determining the status of Goods received by Russian vessels in the EEZ and in the World Ocean. The following methods were used in the article to conduct research on determining the status of fish and fish products that are caught and partially and (or) completely processed on board a vessel that is not located in the territorial waters of the Russian Federation: economic, analytical, generalization, comparisons. In the process of researching the problem under research, the authors of the article applied a method of summarizing information. When developing methodological approaches to determine the status of fish and fish products received by Russian courts outside the country in customs legal relations, an economic research method was used. At the same time, the authors formulated additional simplifications that can be used by Russian fishing companies engaged in the extraction of Goods in the EEZ and in the oceans, which was done using the comparison method. Initially, to determine the current status of fish and fish products received by Russian courts outside the country in customs legal relations, an analytical method of scientific knowledge was used. The results of the research conducted by the authors of the article have both scientific and practical significance, and can be used, among other things, within the framework of improving the normative regulation in the field of customs relations, as well as by economic entities engaged in the extraction of fish (formerly — ​Goods) outside the territorial sea of Russia, namely in the EEZ and in the World Ocean.
