Non-tariff methods of regulation are divided into quantitative methods and methods of covert protectionism. Separate instruments of state regulation of foreign economic activity are more often used when necessary, either to restrict imports or to force exports 11 .

administrative methods. The administrative method of regulation is understood as a system of organizational, legal and special measures: quantitative restrictions, distribution of quotas and licenses, export control for certain types of goods, the establishment of a state monopoly on the export and (or) import of certain types of goods. In order to regulate foreign economic activity, government bodies issue acts of legal regulation of the relationship of counterparties, joint stock laws, customs codes, regulations obliging importers and exporters, on the basis of their execution, to observe the interests of states interacting in the foreign market.

International trade agreements. They define common paths development of economic relations between states, establish a trade, economic, political regime of interaction, provide for the conditions for mutual settlements, terms of cooperation, etc. Long-term agreements - 5 -10 years or more - on trade and other forms of interaction can be fixed in contracts. And also the conclusion of annual protocols on mutual deliveries of goods is practiced. Agreements and protocols, complementing each other, contribute to the development of sustainable mutually beneficial cooperation.

Customs formalities. They are based on the customs code approved by the legislature. Customs Code created in accordance with the customs policy of the state 12 . He defines general tasks and functions of the customs authorities, the procedure for the development, approval and use of tariffs, the conditions for exemption from duties, sanctions for violation customs regulations, procedure for dealing with complaints. Customs formalities are one of the most effective methods regulation of foreign economic activity 13 .

Contingenting and licensing. Export and import quotas are quantitative or cost restrictions on exports and imports, introduced for a certain period of time for individual goods and services, countries and groups of countries.

Licensing is a system of written permits issued by government agencies for the export and import of goods. Licensing is applied for certain periods of time for individual goods included in the list of products for national purposes. The quota is carried out by establishing a regime for issuing individual licenses, while the total volume of exports (imports) under these licenses should not exceed the volume of the established quota. The following types of export (import) quotas (contingents) are used: global, group, individual. For each type of product, only one type of quota is established.

anti-dumping procedures. They are legal and administrative claims brought by national entrepreneurs against foreign suppliers, accusing them of selling goods at underpriced prices that could harm local manufacturers of similar products. Authorities and courts are obliged to suspend the movement of goods accused of dumping and investigate the merits of the claims.

Price preferences. They are established by law in some countries by determining the minimum difference in prices at which the importer's goods and services must be lower than the prices of national producers. For example, energy companies The United States has the right to place orders for imported equipment only if the prices for it are at least 6% lower than those of American manufacturers.

technical procedures. They are established by law. government organizations and represent a set of measures to verify the compliance of imported products with the requirements of international and national standards, industry norms and technical regulations.

One of the types of technical barriers is the requirement for certification of products, goods imported into the country. Why they are subjected to tests in specialized laboratories for compliance of their properties with the requirements of standards for technical, sanitary, technological, traditional indicators 15 .

import procedures. These are the rules for conducting import operations when public procurement. In many countries, in these cases, the buyer must conduct an international auction in order to determine the most advantageous seller. Sometimes a buyer is only granted a license if it has met the requirements for counter-export transactions.

5. Execution of foreign letters of request .

Letter of request is an appeal of the court of one state to the court of another state with a request to perform any procedural actions on the territory of this state. The execution of foreign letters of request means:

drawing up, certification, forwarding, delivery of documents;

The execution of such orders is based on the provisions of international treaties and national legislation. general order- letters of request are transmitted through diplomatic channels, unless otherwise provided by an international treaty. Arbitrage practice- legal assistance is provided on the basis of reciprocity. When executing an order, the civil procedural law of the state where the order is executed is used. Orders aimed at performing procedural actions prohibited by the law of the state executing the order are not executed. The procedure and conditions for the execution of instructions are mainly established not in the law, but in the rules and instructions of the ministries of justice. Not found in Anglo-American law general concept legal assistance. The institution of special commissioners (commission agents) is widely used. The possibility of direct communication between the courts when requesting the execution of an order is provided. In the legislation of the Russian Federation, the general procedure for the execution of foreign letters of request is established in Art. 407 Code of Civil Procedure R and Art. 256 APC RF. In the absence of an international treaty, legal assistance may be provided in the manner and under the conditions of international comity. There is no requirement of reciprocity. The diplomatic route is the main mode of transmission of Letters of Request.

Refusal to perform certain procedural actions is possible if: a) the execution of the order damages the sovereignty of the Russian Federation; b) the execution of the order is not within the competence of the court (Article 407 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).

6. PIL rules. The concept, structures and classification of conflict rules .

In MCHP under count. Norm - a rule of conduct that establishes the law of which state d.b. applied to this particular legal relationship complicated by a foreign element. Qty. A norm is a norm of a general, abstract, referential nature, it does not contain a material model of behavior, does not directly establish the rights and obligations of the parties, they only indicate the competent order of a competent issue. Actual application count. norms is possible only with the application of the national system of the country to which it refers. But this is not a purely technical technique, it is an important point in the cooperation of various states. It is the count. The norms authorize the application of the norms of foreign law in the territory of the state. 2 functions: regulatory and delimiting. Regulatory - in the possibility of coll. norms to serve as the basis for the application of substantive norms of foreign law. Qty. the norm of the state is the instrument by which the legislator makes foreign law valid in its territory. Delimiting function - they set limits on the application of the law of a particular state. The coll.norm resolves the conflict only between national legal orders, therefore, those that refer to the provisions of international treaties are not recognized as conflicts. (Art. 15 Coll., Art. 7 of the Civil Code - if the m. agreement provides otherwise than the law of the Russian Federation - the rule of m. agreements is applied).

Structure. Differs from the usual. 2 parts: volume and binding. The scope of the number of norms determines the type of legal relationship to which it should be applied. Anchor - indicates the legal system or legislation in force in this case. Example: Art. 1197. Legal capacity of natural persons - the volume is determined by his personal law - binding. Simple and complex. The structure is simple - one volume and one binding. 1112. Complex - several of this or that. 1221. Binding is abstract in nature; it refers not to a specific legal act, but to the legal system as a whole, that is, to the entire legal order of the entire state. feature modern development bindings - the rejection of rigid conflict of laws rules, which are based on one criterion for choosing the law - a system of interrelated conflict of laws rules is used to select the law. Application of flexible rules. Plurality of number of bindings - splitting, alternative, cumulation.

Cumulation - when the number of norms is formulated taking into account the legislation of two or more states. 156 SC.

Splitting - when the legal relationship as a whole is subject to one legal order, and its individual issues - to another.

7. Grounds for the application of foreign law. The procedure for establishing the content of a foreign legal norm by the courts.

three fundamental provisions that determine the basis for the application of foreign law.

1. In the territory of a given state, foreign law may be applied only if there are direct instructions to this effect from national law. Such prescriptions are established by national conflict of laws rules, and not by any, but by bilateral ones. Thanks to bilateral conflict of laws rules, a conflict of law can be resolved both in favor of one's own, domestic law, and foreign. The conflict-of-laws rule is legally binding on all authorities and officials state, and if it refers to foreign law, then it must be applied by all bodies and officials by virtue of a legally binding prescription of a conflict of laws rule. A conflict rule is a legal basis for the application of foreign law in the territory of a given state. Conflict law in general is a bridge linking the national legal system with foreign law.

2. National law provides general principles on which the application of foreign law is based, methods for establishing its content, the procedure for applying foreign law, as well as the limits of its application.

3. The application of foreign law is also carried out in accordance with generally recognized principles international law. The foundations for the application of foreign law are determined by such principles of international law as the sovereign equality of states, self-determination, and non-interference in internal affairs. In accordance with these principles, states are obliged to respect each other's right to freely determine their political and legal system and not interfere with its functioning. The right of a state to make and enforce laws is one of its sovereign rights, which must be respected by other states. Law enforcement authorities must respect the applicable foreign law, its features, so that the prescriptions of foreign law are implemented with the utmost care. Respect for foreign law follows from the principle of the sovereign equality of states.
