This scientific article examines the issue of seizure of goods and material assets resulting from crimes in the customs sector, their storage, and the determination of their subsequent legal status. Both theoretical and practical aspects of the application of measures for the safekeeping of seized goods, as well as their transfer to the state or conversion into state revenue, are analyzed. Special attention is given to the legal and organizational challenges arising in this process and possible solutions to them.
