These documents are provided to the driver or carrier and presented at the border crossing.
Additional aspects to consider:
FEA codes — each product has its own code, which determines the duty, VAT, and the need for permits. They need to be correctly selected before sending the cargo.
Certification in Ukraine — some goods are not allowed to circulate without Ukrainian certification (equipment, cosmetics, food products). It is necessary to check in advance.
Customs clearance — payment of duty, VAT, and customs fees depends on the goods and is carried out after the cargo arrives in Ukraine.
Storage in a warehouse — if necessary, the cargo can be placed in a customs warehouse or temporary storage warehouse (TSW) until customs clearance.
