Customs in Kyiv

"Ukrainsky Novyny" reports that on Nov. 8 2000 the Cabinet of Ministers issued a decree on simplifying the customs' documentation when importing commodities that require certification in Ukraine. It enables to import all consignments of one-type commodities with the single certificate until its expiration. It is presumed that commodities are transported to one recipient, and name, type, class, trademark of the manufacturer comply with the information in the certificate.

The decree has also introduced some changes into the Customs Order of importing commodities that are the subjects to certification (set up by the Cabinet of Ministers in Nov. 4, 2000). Besides, Cabinet of Ministers ordered the State Committee on Standartisation and State Customs Service to augment their legislation in accordance to the decree.

Reference: Before the decree was issued, customs certificate was required for every consignment of commodities that entered the country with different transport documents (blading, bill of lading).
