Data collected during the first half of 2022 from two population samples were analyzed: n=2 385 persons in the Department of Norte de Santander and n=1 398 persons in the State of Táchira. A hypothesis test was used, with the independent variables being the respondents’ age groups and educational level (heads of household between 18 and 69 years old). The results show the existence of smuggling as a practice socially accepted by many citizens even though it is a crime, which is increased by the deterioration of commercial exchange between Venezuela and Colombia, the unilateral closing of border crossings, and therefore the deterioration of the quality of life of citizens. Este estudio analizó la relación entre la percepción de un ambiente de ilegalidad y el comportamiento de las personas no basado en normas (anomia) en relación con el delito del contrabando en el departamento Norte de Santander (Colombia) y en el estado Táchira (Venezuela). Se analizaron datos recolectados durante el primer semestre de 2022, de dos muestras poblacionales: n=2 385 colombianos en el Departamento Norte de Santander y n=1 398 venezolanos en el estado Táchira. Se utilizó un contraste de hipótesis, las variables independientes son los grupos etarios y nivel educativo de los encuestados (jefes de hogar entre 18 y 69 años). Los resultados muestran la existencia del contrabando como una práctica socialmente aceptada por muchos ciudadanos aun siendo delito, que se ve acrecentado por el deterioro del intercambio comercial entre Venezuela y Colombia, el cierre unilateral de los pasos fronterizos y el deterioro de la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos.
