Abstract

Abstract:
Customs smuggling poses a continuous challenge to the financial and economic systems of all countries, regardless of their philosophy and systems, whether at the national, regional or international level. This illegal act is a breach of the state’s financial and economic systems, without which social security cannot be achieved. There is no doubt that the developments taking place have led to the existence of forms and models of acts. Smuggling, whether legal or in violation of applicable import and export regulations, is no longer limited to the threat of customs smuggling, despite its importance. Rather, it extends beyond this issue to threatening social values when it affects the state and undermines the fundamental interests of society, in cases where smuggling involves prohibited goods. Given the seriousness of customs smuggling on the national economy, this chapter discusses the impact of customs smuggling on the national economy in some developed countries, by addressing three of the largest developed countries, namely the United States of America, the United Kingdom (Britain), and France, where this is discussed by revealing the impact of smuggling on the economies of These countries, and the different ways in which customs smuggling is combated in these countries.
