Abstract: The research object includes the legal and methodological problems of license fees (royalties and flat payments) inclusion in the customs value of goods. The article analyzes the existing legislation in this sphere. The research subject includes the existing gaps in the national and international customs legislation in the sphere of movement of intellectual property objects across the border of the Customs union. The article defines the possible ways of inclusion of license fees into the customs value. The methodology of the research is based on the legal analysis and the content-analysis of the order of inclusion of license fees into the customs value of goods when crossing the border of the Customs union. The scientific originality consists in the complex study of customs and civil regulations in the sphere of intellectual property; the revelation of contradictions and gaps; suggestions about the enhancement of legislation in the sphere of movement of intellectual property objects across the customs border. In the author’s opinion, the custom authorities should take the following measures: it is necessary to define the documents establishing license fees payment as a condition for the goods selling; the calculation of interest payments when defining the customs value of goods, and the inclusion of agents’ fees into the customs value should be specified; it is recommended to distinctly represent the type of license fee and the order of its transfer, proved by the entries, in the license contract; it is necessary to regulate the disputable questions of deferred fixing of customs value. 

Abstract: The subject of this research is the hierarchical dependency of the sources of public law in the modern Russia and its influence on the changes in Russia’s structure in light of the integrational cooperation. An analysis is conducted on the approaches to the forming of hierarchical subordination of the sources of public law within the classic theory of law, as well as the current stage. A special emphasis is made on the influence of international acts that compose the contractual foundation of the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, as well as the emergence of sources of public law of international legal acts of direct effect within the system. The author structures a concept of creating a hierarchical system of sources of public law, determining the defining factors and legal forms of expression of this system taking into account the effect of international law.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the studies of the influence of economic integration upon the changes in the factors reflecting hierarchic dependency of the public law sources.  The article provides brief analysis of various approaches towards the formation of a hierarchic dependency, and it includes detailed analysis of the influence of economic processes upon the changes in the hierarchy of the public law norms both at national and international levels. The author pays special attention to the issues of classification of regional trade agreements and their relations with the system of supra-national public law, providing detailed characteristics of each type of regional trade agreement, taking into account the specific features of the formation of the system of public law.  As a conclusion the author points out that the transition from one level of integration to another is accompanied with the simultaneous changes in the system of sources of public law of the state, when more and more of economic and closely related issues are transferred into the sphere of supranational regulation. That is why, when analyzing the factors of hierarchical dependency of the sources of public law of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to take into account the economic element of public law relations.
