The article substantiates the need to modernize customs statistics of Ukraine as a key tool for forming foreign economic policy and ensuring international comparability of data in the context of European integration. The purpose of the article is to theoretically generalize the essence of customs statistics, substantiate its structural transformation in the context of digitalization and develop comprehensive approaches to overcoming key barriers to integration into the European digital space. The work uses systemic and structural-functional analysis, as well as a method of comparing national and European approaches to the organization of electronic customs systems. The author defines the dualistic nature of customs statistics, reveals its transformation from post-factum accounting to a tool for operational monitoring and forecasting, substantiates the need to modernize information architecture, harmonize legal regulation, develop digital competencies of personnel and implement risk-oriented analytical platforms. It is proven that the integration of automated systems for processing declaration data, standardized electronic exchange and mechanisms for ensuring the quality and cybersecurity of information creates the prerequisites for increasing the reliability of statistical indicators and their compliance with European requirements. It is argued that the comprehensive digital transformation of customs statistics is a strategic prerequisite for its full integration into the single digital environment of the European Union and increasing the efficiency of state management of foreign economic activity. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of their use by state authorities and customs authorities in developing strategic and regulatory decisions on the modernization of information systems, improving electronic data exchange procedures and implementing tools for ensuring the quality and security of customs statistics in the process of integration into the European digital space.
