* - required fields

In short. “Customs accreditation” is the registration of a person carrying out operations with goods: customs assigns the company or sole trader a registration number valid across the entire customs territory of Ukraine (Art. 455 of the Customs Code). It is done once, before or at the first import or export. We prepare and file the documents and follow the case until the number is assigned: 800 UAH, usually from 3 working days.

Answers to customs

Customs comments and requests are handled at no extra charge until the registration number is assigned.

Changes to registration

New director, address or name — we update the registration data with customs.

How customs accreditation works

What the law says

  • Registration is kept centrally by the customs service; the registration number is valid across the entire customs territory of Ukraine, and double registration with different customs offices is prohibited (Art. 455 of the Customs Code of Ukraine).
  • Registration is done once, before or at the first operation with goods; not being registered is grounds for refusing to accept a declaration and clear goods.
  • Documents can be filed in person, by post, electronically to the customs information system or via the “Single Window for International Trade” portal (Registration Procedure, Ministry of Finance Order No. 242 of 29.04.2021).

What to prepare

  • an extract from the Unified State Register (LLC) or the sole trader record;
  • the order appointing the director or a power of attorney for the authorised person;
