Why is it worth using our customs broker services?

In order to find out information about what can be imported, what documents must accompany the cargo, how much to pay for customs clearance (fees, duties, VAT, excise tax). You can of course do it yourself. But then you will have to spend more than one day, and there will be a huge question about the quality of the information received. It is also possible to hire a customs declarant on the staff of the company, but this will lead to a lack of width and height of view on innovations in the customs sector, and the professional weight and image of your corporate interests will be measured solely by the weight of the importer’s company.

Preparation of documents for customs clearance

Services for customs clearance of imported goods are provided by many companies, but not all do it efficiently and quickly, using all the innovations of customs legislation.

Little things that may seem unimportant, not taken into account in the process of preparing documentation for customs clearance of goods, can lead to such consequences as transport downtime, a fine for violating customs legislation, and an increase in payments. As a result, there is a significant increase in customs clearance costs.

Our specialists work proactively, at the preliminary stage, at the stage of forming the order by the client, analyzing and preventing the maximum number of possible risks during registration.

Customs clearance of cargo

A set of actions, after which the buyer of the goods receives the right to freely dispose of goods on the territory of Ukraine, is called import.

According to the customs code, such actions include:

  • provision of permits for the goods imported by you (certificate/declaration of conformity, conclusion of the SES (for the sale of products on the domestic market), conclusion of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry);
  • filling in the customs declaration according to the shipping documents;
  • payment of customs duties (duty, excise, VAT);
  • provision of goods, if necessary, for customs inspection.

What else can we tell about the customs broker service?

Informed means protected.

Every day there are some changes in the procedures for customs clearance of goods. We inform our customers about any changes or bottlenecks in the supply chain that can be expected in the near future.

The first delivery is important! – be prepared.

If you do not have experience in import operations or have it, but old, we strongly recommend using the advice of a customs broker and get the most up-to-date information for customs clearance, and you will definitely bypass all the sharp corners of the customs clearance procedure.

Registration at the border or at the checkpoint, without arrival and payment for the customs terminal.

A huge advantage for importers has become the possibility of customs clearance of goods at the border or at a checkpoint, which entails huge advantages, since the cargo actually enters the territory of Ukraine, already cleared of customs payments, and your vehicle can go to any point in Ukraine for unloading, which significantly reduces transport costs and delivery time.

Terms of delivery and terms of payment.

Very often, beginners confuse these two conditions. Include in the terms of the contract the provision of the necessary documents to you for customs clearance – this will raise your expertise in negotiations with your supplier of goods, and you will document a package of documents to confirm the customs value if necessary.

Form carefully pricing depending on the terms of delivery of goods. If you have any questions or need help in determining the correctness of these conditions, we invite you for a consultation, and you will definitely be confident and calm when delivering the goods.

FREQUENTLY QUESTIONS on first import or FEA

How to find the product code?

The selection of the product code is carried out on the basis of the Ukrainian classification of goods of foreign economic activity using the rules of interpretation. To do this, you need to understand the functions of the product, what it is intended for, what it consists of, the technical parameters of the product.

How to determine how much customs clearance will cost?

The following factors affect the customs clearance cost:

UKTZED code, since each code has its own rate of customs duty, which is indicated in the Law of Ukraine “On the Customs Tariff of Ukraine”,

the customs value of the goods (the cost of the goods and, depending on the terms of delivery, transport costs, registration of permits and preferential documents, customs clearance in the country of the sender, unloading and loading operations, cargo insurance and other services may be added.)

I have a FOP, do I need to do a TOV for foreign economic activity?

For foreign economic activity, you can also remain a private entrepreneur, the main thing is that the corresponding codes for the type of activity need be open.

I am not a VAT payer, can I import?

Both a VAT payer and a non-VAT payer can import goods. As a future importer, you need to take into account that you will not receive a tax credit for this consignment of imported goods.

If you have any questions, we recommend that you sign up for a consultation with a customs broker, our specialists will be happy to help you build the correct financial model, taking into account the issues of customs logistics.

Why is it worth doing a stress test of your foreign economic activity and, in particular, customs clearance?

The most frequent answer from the importer at the start of negotiations is: everything is fine with me, the goods are cleared through customs, we have everything set up, we have been working this way for more than 10 years, my relative is engaged in customs clearance, what may be bad there, etc.

The most paradoxical thing is to ask the question, what is the price of your “fine”? When was the last time you digitized all of these KPIs listed above? – in a classic situation, this is either the enrichment of third parties, or the lack of control over the performance indicators of the center of responsibility for FEA.

A very effective and correct solution is a stress test of transactions in foreign economic activity. Order it, and you will be surprised – for a reasonable price, you get a cool solution, we often hear gratitude and appreciation after the FEA audit.

What is a customs warehouse for? What is a temporary storage warehouse for?

A customs warehouse is a customs procedure designed for the temporary storage of exported or imported goods. Goods placed under the customs warehouse procedure are not subject to customs duties.

You will find the answers in more detail in the “Customs warehouse” section of the page, if you still have questions, we recommend that you sign up for a consultation with a customs broker.

A temporary storage warehouse is a specially allocated and equipped room where goods and vehicles are stored while they are under customs control.

You will find the answers in more detail in the “Temporary storage warehouse” section of the page, if you still have questions, we recommend that you sign up for a consultation with a customs broker.

How to release the transport if the customs clearance process is delayed?

Alternatively, you can use the temporary storage warehouse and unload the goods to the warehouse, or, depending on the situation, delegate the solution of issues to professionals.

How can I start processing cargo at the border?

The customs clearance procedure is a long, documentary complex process that requires appropriate knowledge, effort and time, so you can delegate your duties in customs clearance to us, and we will customs your goods professionally, quickly and in any city.

How to pay less taxes?

Games with taxes are like the saying “take what you want, but there will be a cash register at the end!”, since any optimization can ultimately lead to additional costs. For example, having defended your rights in court, as a result, you will be able to see that the cost of spending in a circle turned out to be more expensive than fair play, and you filled the pockets of “reshak” (they are also called “temschik”), and not our state budget, and spent with this a lot of time and nerves.

Accounting services from our specialists, by default, would give you two solutions and explain the strengths and weaknesses of each condition – you would only have to choose a path.

How to register perishable goods if suddenly the customs stop the goods?

There is a risk of manual management of customs clearance of cargo, for example, you crossed the road to a competitor, and he decided to put a spoke in your wheels, and you have a perishable cargo. In such situations, it is extremely important to understand the details of the customs clearance procedure and what potential difficulties may arise. Therefore, we recommend that you work with a professional team of customs brokers from VR GROUP.

What to do if the cargo is slowed down at the customs?

Seek qualified help from the specialists of our company, who will help you in a legal way to solve problems and build a line of defense.

Should I call a hotline, for example customs?

You should call the customs hotline if there is a recorded moment of abuse of office by the customs authorities or in case of violation of the law.

What documents are required for customs clearance?

To begin with – an invoice, a packing list, a FEA contract, then the customs clearance agent needs to provide a correct classification (if there is no clear understanding from the above-mentioned documents), provide technical documentation for the goods, indicating the composition, physical and chemical properties, scope, purpose After that, our specialist classifies the goods, analyzes all possible risks in terms of cost, the need to provide permits. As a result, you will be provided with a complete analysis of the product, possible risks, the amount of payments (duty, VAT) and information whether a financial guarantee is needed to cross the border.

What is the cost of customs clearance and what does it depend on?

The cost of customs clearance is negotiated and fixed with each client individually, depending on the specifics of the cargo, the frequency of deliveries.

Can your company help with obtaining permits (SES conclusion, certificate of origin, declaration/certificate of conformity, conclusion of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry)?

Yes, of course, you can find more information in the section of the website “Registration of permits” or sign up for a consultation with a customs broker.

It is necessary to deliver the goods, but we have neither a contract nor a carrier, can you help?

Yes, of course.
Our customs clearance agents (customs brokers) will advise you on how to draw up a Foreign Economic Activity Agreement, what to look for, terms of delivery and payment terms, what bottlenecks there may be in your future transaction.
Having received information about the cargo from you, they will calculate which type of transport is the best to deliver, arrange door-to-door delivery. You also need to consider a number of factors that technical imports are always more expensive than direct imports to your company for a number of criteria. If you have any questions, we recommend that you leave a request for consultation with a customs broker.

We will improve your financial performance here and now.
Possession of the necessary information on customs clearance and building a logistics model is an important factor in the pricing of your products and the financial result of the business.
We are reliable partners.
Trusting a team of specialists who enjoy their work is a sign that they will cope with the task at a high level!
First-step mistakes are expensive.
It is important to plan and build an algorithm of actions from the very beginning. The correct selection of the UKTZED code is very important, since the rate of duty depends on its choice and, having issued the goods for the first time at a higher rate, in the future it is very difficult to change the UKTZED code in order to reduce the duty rate.
Our customs brokers know how to defend your interests.
The moment of defending the customs value of the goods is important, if during the first registration you cannot prove the customs value due to the lack of experience of your or a customs broker - then this can only be corrected in court.
The place of cargo clearance affects the efficiency of customs clearance.
Regional customs, port, airport, border or checkpoint. Sometimes it is more convenient to clear the goods along the route. These options are deeply known only to specialists who work with this every day.
