Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I would suggest authors clarify the content of digital agenda they refer to in the article. I do not feel the sufficiency of citations the authors rely on and improvement can be made to the citations.

Reviewer 2 Report
I think the topic would be interesting and important in the near future. I suggest the authors to improve the reference list which contains only 26 items. It should be necessary to involve more international literature sources which increase the level of the paper. In my mind the paper is descriptive, so it would be better to find the way of how is it possible to change it. Probably you can present more tables and figures which are related the topic and help the understanding. I suggest to improve the 4th chapter too.

Reviewer 3 Report
Referee Report on “Improving the customs regulation framework in the Eurasian Economic Union in the context of sustainable economic development”_ sustainability-1503214
This study based on the successful implementation of digital technologies in the information space of the EAEU presupposes the solution of a number of problems associated with the transition to a new paradigm of customs administration based on the digitalization of the processes of regulation of foreign economic activity. The author concludes that within the framework of the digital transformation of the EAEU, new opportunities are opening up for the customs regulation framework, based on the introduction of technologies for analyzing large amounts of data, immersive technologies, blockchain, the use of innovative methods for obtaining and processing customs information (satellite tracking, radio frequency identification), the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in customs control processes.
However, this research neither proposes economic reality analysis and argumentation, nor does it provide theoretical support. This journal is an academic journal; therefore, it is not suitable for publication in this journal in current situation. I suggest that the author should appropriately use words, numbers, tables, and diagrams to construct his theoretical framework, describe and explain the findings, as well as the related problems currently faced, and propose solutions.
It is recommended that the author explain the position and contribution of this research in academic development.
Minor Comments:
The authors should carefully check the symbols, spelling and writing.
- For example, in line 119 and 122, the first letter of the sentence should be capitalized the sentence. In line 147, “fourteen” should be “14”.
Evaluation:
For the above reasons, I believe that the current situation in this article is not suitable for publication in this journal. I encourage authors to make submissions after making appropriate corrections.
