Customs clearance

Payments to be paid to state accounts of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine (SFSU) are assessed by a customs inspector at the customs office where the postal item arrived (Kyiv, Lviv, Chop, Odesa).

The customs inspector issues and completes a customs form М15, indicating the goods, the goods code as per UKTZED (Ukrainian Commodity Coding System), quantity and value, rate of customs duty and VAT, amount due and the details of the accounts of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine. М15 form is attached to the parcel, which is directed to Ukrposhta’s post office.

The recipient can pick up the parcel after paying the taxes at Ukrposhta’s post office.

М15 is issued free of charge and without any additional agreement.

For the customs clearance of the goods to be received a legal entity shall provide electronic copies of the following documents.

In the event of sale and purchase of the goods, if required:

• customs declaration CN23 / CN22 (for small packets);

• invoice (bilingual or with translation) certified by the signatures of the director and chief accountant, and the company seal;

• certified copy of an international business contract (when sending goods under a contract);

• description of goods (extracts from catalogues, product data sheet, manufacturer’s certificates);

• additional documents, if required by UKTZED code.

If the goods are sent free of charge (samples, gifts), if required:

• customs declaration CN23 / CN22 (for small packets);

• invoice (bilingual or with translation) certified by the signatures of the director and chief accountant, and the company seal;

• description of goods (extracts from catalogues, manufacturer’s certificates).

Customs payments

Assessment of:

• customs duty — 10% of the amount in excess of the 150 EUR limit;

• VAT — 20% of the amount in excess of the 150 EUR limit + assessed duty.

Example:

Mobile phone, 170 EUR

Customs duty: (170 − 150) × 10% = 2 EUR

VAT: ((170 − 150) + 2) × 20% = 4,4 EUR

Taxes due: 2 + 4,4 = 6,4 EUR

Assesment of:

• customs duty — % of the value of the postal item depending on the UKTZED code;

• VAT — 20% of the value of the goods + the assessed customs duty.

Depending on the Incoterms delivery terms, the customs value may also include the cost of transportation of the postal item.

Please note

• Items arriving on the same day from the same sender to one recipient are combined and their customs clearance procedure depends on their combined total value: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua.

• Customers that do not accept the assessed amount of customs charges can contact the customs authority that has assessed these customs fees. When needed, Ukrposhta performs radiological and environmental control free of charge. Ukrposhta does not perform sanitary-epidemiological inspection of postal items, because postal items are not subject to such inspection.
