Abstract. The relevance of this article is dictated by the need to study ways to improve the efficiency of trade through the introduction of innovative systems of customs management and control. The purpose of the study is to analyze the experience of using the Portal Seaport software package, taking into account its external and internal problems, including the interaction of various participants in maritime transportation.

In methodological terms, the author is guided by the basic principles of a systematic approach.

The main result of the study is that the author formulates a set of principles, formulated taking into account the recommendations of the United Nations, with the aim of contributing to the facilitation of international trade procedures and increasing the level of resistance to security threats. The scientific novelty of the article is manifested in the fact that the text of the article explores the system of preliminary informing the customs authorities during the delivery of goods by sea, little studied in the domestic specialized literature. Accordingly, the practical significance of the article lies in the development of the author’s recommendations that can be used to more effectively modernize the relevant mechanisms for managing and controlling foreign trade activities. The direction of the author’s further research can be formulated in the following way. The Seaport Portal system needs to be improved, so it is necessary to focus on the benefits that traders will receive if the imperfections of this system are eliminated, and to comprehensively explore ways to achieve qualitatively different results. The author’s recommendation is not only to comprehensively study the systems of preliminary information, but also to expand the scope of their implementation in the state control system.

Key words: sea freight, foreign economic activity, customs procedures, economic security, customs management.
