Abstract: As a result of 2014, Russia's foreign trade turnover amounted to about 820 million tons and 700 billion US dollars. In 2015, the figures fell significantly and amounted to 750 million tons and 404 billion US dollars. In 2016 cargo traffic in physical terms increased to 767 million tons, but decreased in value to 363 billion US dollars. The key drivers of the changes for the period from 2014 to 2016 were the following: the imposition of mutual sanctions between the Russian Federation and foreign states, the unstable political situation in Ukraine and the trade blockade on the part of Ukraine. As a result, there was a redistribution of cargo flows between the points of admission on the border of the Russian Federation. In addition, the redistribution of freight flows is influenced by barriers related to the customs administration system, which are faced by companies engaged in foreign economic activities. The purpose of this work is to build a methodology and conduct a quantitative assessment of the impact of customs reform in Russia on the loading of checkpoints, including analysis of the product and geographical aspects. The results of the assessment will allow to build priorities for the arrangement of existing checkpoints on the basis of gravitation to them from the side of freight carriers.
