The first thing you need to know is that not everyone needs an import or export license. Every year in Ukraine a list of goods is established that actually require such a document. Typically, these are potentially dangerous products, for example those containing freon. For all others, a license is not needed, but other documents will be needed, including Declarations, a properly executed agreement and much other data. If the need to obtain a license is your case, the top solution would be to prepare for the process in advance. The fact is that the government agency considers the case for quite a long time, about a month, and you definitely wouldn’t want to be stuck at the border for this period. To obtain a license comfortably, our lawyers check in advance the availability of all necessary documents, including a foreign economic contract, invoices, additional permits and others. We draw up an application ourselves and submit it according to the established procedure.Import license in Ukraine: do I need it?

A license is only one step in the import or export process. Moreover, it is not always required. But organizing all logistics and passing through Ukrainian customs will require the participation of lawyers of various specializations.
Even if you don’t need a license, you will have to work hard on a number of conditions in order to calmly and profitably import or export goods from Ukraine. Important! Due to military operations in Ukraine, import rules can change quite often, decisions are made instantly. You need to be prepared for a variety of scenarios, minimizing risks for yourself and your business. The first thing a lawyer does in such a situation is to work with the contract under which you plan to carry out the operation. If such an agreement has already been written, but we find provisions in it that, as we know from experience, can lead to controversial situations at the border, we will recommend our own amendments or additions that can reduce such risks. Next, we will move on to an analysis of the accompanying documents that the driver must have, including invoices, financial documents or waybills. The help of a lawyer is guaranteed to be needed in complex cases, for example, transportation of equipment. Very often, large equipment is transported by several vehicles, and the equipment is considered a whole unit. There needs to be clear guidance on how such vehicles can cross the border without problems. Our lawyer will not just receive 1 or a couple of documents for you, he will draw up a clear algorithm of actions so that you understand exactly how to go through the entire procedure and what awaits you at each stage. Of course, a specialist will be in touch all the time, and if a delay or problem arises at any time, he will be able to quickly respond to it.Lawyer for import operations in Ukraine
