Ukrainian governemnt adopts laws on “customs visa-free regime” starting October 1

On September 27, the Cabinet of Ministers approved resolutions that will allow Ukraine to join the Conventions on the common transit procedure. It was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Finance.

It should be noted that the joint transit procedure simplifies formalities in trade in goods, in other words, a “customs visa-free regime.”

As reported by the department, decisions regarding the possibility of using authorizations and simplifications for an unlimited range of Ukrainian businesses have been approved.

The government approved the forms of documents and settled the issue of assessing the company’s compliance with the criteria for granting authorizations, etc., according to the requirements of a “visa-free regime.”

The business receives tools to use the advantages and simplifications of the common transit procedure in the 35 member countries of the Convention.

Until now, only a limited number of enterprises had access to simplifications.

In addition, a list of goods that can be transported through the customs territory of Ukraine without providing the Customs with security for the payment of customs fees for the duration of martial law and one year after its termination is defined.

The list was created considering the goods needed for the country’s defense capability.
