DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO THE DEFINITION OF THE SUBJECT OF ECONOMIC SMUGGLING IN THE CRIMINAL LEGISLATION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The article discusses the comparative characteristics of the contraband item in the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is shown that despite the commonality of customs legislation, criminal legislation in the field of determining the subject of economic smuggling has certain quantitative and qualitative differences. The differences are related both to the qualitative composition of the items specified in the disposition of criminal law norms establishing criminal liability for economic smuggling, and to the definition of their quantitative characteristics, namely, large size, in the presence of which the legislator allows the possibility of criminal liability. The author recommends taking measures to unify the criminal legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation in this area, including bringing the large size of the object of economic smuggling to a common denominator.
