In connection with the hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, the Rada amended the current Tax Code. They came into force on April 1, and will remain in effect until the end of martial law.. In particular, this affected the customs clearance of cars.

What changes were made to the customs clearance procedure.

Initially, it was allowed to freely import cars intended for military purposes and humanitarian aid into Ukraine.. But later they found that these measures were not enough..

In March, the import of cars was equated with humanitarian aid, which greatly simplified the procedure.. Later, all citizens were allowed not to pay the due fees immediately. That is, to import a car, you just had to fill out the documents.

But these changes seemed insufficient to the authorities.. Therefore, from April 1, completely new rules began to work.. Now you can import cars without paying excise duty, duty and VAT.

In fact, several types of vehicles can now be imported into the country for free.;

cars and trucks;

cars designed to carry 10 or more passengers;

motorcycles;

trailers and semi-trailers.

The nuances of the simplified procedure for the import of cars.

Simplified procedure implies accelerated paperwork. The whole process takes less than an hour.

Do not forget that the absence of payment for customs clearance does not mean that the procedure will be completely free.. Payment to the Pension Fund, for registration, certificate form and number has not been canceled. Thus, you will need to pay a total of 440 hryvnia and 3-5% of the total cost of the car.

Bringing a car is not a valid reason for a man liable for military service to cross the border. Therefore, the procedure will have to be entrusted to a woman or specialized organizations..

Russian troops continue to block sea traffic. Therefore, you should not count on bringing a car from the USA.. It is better to pay attention to cars from EU countries.
