This article explores the transformation of Ukraine’s customs policy under martial law as a key instrument for ensuring the country’s economic security. The authors emphasize the institutionalization of customs procedures-customs control, clearance, and the collection of taxes and duties - as a strategic mechanism for strengthening foreign economic activity. In wartime conditions, the customs system functions not only as a regulator but also as a proactive element of state governance, supporting domestic producers, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and civil society. The methodological framework of the study includes comparative analysis, abstraction, structural modeling, and generalization. As a result, the essence and components of customs procedures were defined, and changes introduced into legislation and customs practice under unprecedented challenges were identified. The study also examines the interconnection between customs policy and the national strategy for economic security, particularly in supporting critical infrastructure and supply chains. The importance of digitalizing customs procedures is highlighted as a means of increasing transparency and responsiveness during crises. The authors stress the need for adaptive legislation capable of responding to evolving external threats. Prospects for integrating international experience in customs administration are outlined to strengthen Ukraine’s institutional capacity. The article lays the foundation for further research in the field of security-oriented management of foreign economic activity. The proposed conclusions can serve as an analytical tool for developing policies in the field of economic security in conditions of instability.
