Annotation: The Russian Federation, one of the world powers, and the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, an unrecognized state, in their Constitutions positioned themselves as legal. Such a constitutional norm rather defines the purpose, but not the statement of the development level of the institutions inherent in the rule of law. Article 2 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Article 16 of the Constitution of the PMR, which impose on the state the obligation to protect human and civil rights and freedoms, have a direct effect, as do the norms of paragraph 1 of Article 45 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Article 45 of the Constitution of the PMR, which enshrine state guarantees for the performance of these duties. To varying degrees, all links of the state mechanism are involved in the mechanism of implementation of these guarantees, but the institute of the Prosecutor’s Office occupies a special place. A comparative characteristic of the constitutional status of the Prosecutor’s office in the Russian Federation and the PMR is given.

Annotation: The article describes some aspects of the process of classifying goods for customs purposes, which do not lose their relevance due to the relationship between the classification code and the size of the customs duty rate. The author indicates the most common problems that arise in the process of determining the classification code. The purpose and principle of using the texts of Notes and Explanations to the Unified Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity of the Eurasian Economic Union are illustrated with specific examples as explanatory publications. Judicial practice on the use of these auxiliary tools and the accounting of decisions of the Eurasian Economic Commission is also analyzed. Classification disputes, along with disputes over the determination of the customs value of goods, are the most widespread in customs practice, therefore, the correct approach to the classification process will help to avoid disputes, as well as time and financial costs in the implementation of foreign trade activities. In this regard, the author provides several practical recommendations on the classification of goods that should be taken into account by participants in foreign economic activity before the declaration.
