Liberalization of customs valuation procedure
Within the framework of its gradual liberalization policy, the
Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (CMU) introduced certain changes to
the applicable legislation related to determination of customs
value of imported goods into Ukraine. The CMU adopted the
Resolution of the CMU No. 686 dated 5 October 2016 (Resolution 686)
which has abolished the Resolution of the CMU No. 724 dated 16
September 2015 (Resolution 724) that allowed customs authorities
(SFS state servants) to compare the declared customs value of the
imported goods with the average value for identical (similar)
goods, imported by other declarants for the past 6 months and
declared under relevant UKTZED code. By abolishing Resolution 724,
CMU revoked the power of customs authorities to compare the
declared customs value of particular goods/products with average
customs value of goods that may significantly differ from the goods
imported earlier, by quality,
