Abstract

Abstract:
All countries, both developed and underdeveloped, face the problem of evasion and smuggling. In some cases, it is a small problem, while in others, it is a large one. Customs smuggling is the process of importing and exporting that takes place outside official channels, without passing through customs offices. In other words, it takes place through illegal channels. It is considered a form of customs fraud, as customs smuggling poses a financial challenge to the systems. Financial and economic evasion affects all countries, regardless of their philosophies and systems, whether at the national, regional, or international level. This illegal act constitutes a breach of the country's financial and economic systems, without which social and economic security cannot be achieved. In other words, customs smuggling affects the country's economic activities. Accordingly, this chapter has been divided into Three chapters: the first chapter discusses the impact of customs smuggling on the national economy in Algeria, the second chapter explains the impact of customs smuggling on the national economy in Sudan, and the third chapter addresses the impact of customs smuggling on the national economy in Jordan.
