Customs clearance of exports and imports

You can clear everything yourself or order a customs clearance service: Nova Post provides a full range of customs brokerage services. Customs clearance services are paid separately according to the customs brokerage agreement.

Documents for import clearance to Ukraine

  • customs declaration: to be filled in by a customs broker
  • registration card of the person handling the goods: accreditation card of the importer or recipient at the customs
  • international express delivery services agreement
  • certificate of transportation costs, depending on the terms of delivery
  • foreign economic contract between the sender and the recipient, if any
  • invoice
  • packing list/specification
  • customs declaration for shipments ≤ €150
  • other documents depending on the type of goods being shipped

For example: licenses and opinions of sanitary and epidemiological, veterinary, phytosanitary, radiological control, and gemological services.

  • Priority (preferential) regime of customs clearance of goods

    Following the ratification of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, most goods can now be imported into the European market without paying duties. This regime boosts Ukrainian exports and strengthens economic relations between Ukraine and the EU.

    To get a preferential discount on customs clearance of goods, you must comply with the following conditions:

    • The goods must originate from a country party to the Agreement
    • The original proof of origin (validated certificate of EUR.1 / EUR-MED form for consignments worth over EUR 6,000 or “Declaration-Invoice” for consignments worth up to EUR 6,000) must be transported together with the goods and other supporting documents
    • The conditions for direct transportation from the country of origin to the country of destination party to the Agreement must be met

    For details on the terms and conditions, refer to Annex IV to Protocol I of the Association Agreement.

Accrual of customs duties on imports to Ukraine

Shipment cost up to €150

  • No fees are charged

Shipment cost over €150

  • Import duty: % of the shipment cost depending on the UKT ZED code
  • VAT: 20% of the shipment cost and duty

Calculation example

  • import duty = (€200 - €150) x 10% = €5
  • VAT = (€200 - €150 + €5) x 20% = €11

Total tax payable: €5 + €11 = €16
