On 27 May 2009, changes were made to the customs clearance
procedure for goods entering Ukraine, including:
- making the State Committee for Technical Regulation and
Consumer Policy (Derzhspozhivstandart) responsible for deciding of
the list of controlled goods that are subject to certification when
imported into Ukraine
- not making controlled goods subject to certification when their
description or custom code matches those specified by
Derzhspozhivstandart
- authorising Derzhspozhivstandart to decide which goods
delivered under a contract are exempt from the certification
procedure
Under the new rules, once the relevant certificates are granted
by Derzhspozhivstandart, they will be valid for the term of the
contract. Previously, importers had to obtain certificates for each
consignment of the same goods under the same contract.
