Emphasis was placed on the establishing the educational process, the formation of professional examination commissions from the staff of customs practitioners, and the content of educational programs. Th e overloading of examination commissions led to the creation of separate commissions for fi scal control and clerical employees. It was found that initially the exam program did not cover all subjects for examining candidates for positions in customs structures. Over time, it was expanded to include knowledge in the fi eld of constitutional right, laws and government orders, etc. Th e low level of professional knowledge of customs of- fi cials caused both their submission of certifi cates of education and systematic examination. The results of which indicated a mostly low level, which was the basis for restriction career growth and transferring to separate customs service inspectorates. A signifi cant problem hindering the development of customs structures was limited state funding, improper performance of offi cial duties, the age qualifi cation of employees.
