With the development of your business, there is often a need to enter international markets or import foreign products, goods or services. Foreign economic activity, i.e. movement of goods and services across the customs border of Ukraine, is related to this.

According to the law, foreign economic activity is the activity of economic entities of Ukraine and foreign entities of economic activity, as well as the activity of state customers for defense orders in cases defined by the laws of Ukraine, built on the mutual relations between them, which takes place both on the territory of Ukraine and and beyond (Article 1 of the Law on Foreign Economic Activity).

During such movement of goods, they must be subject to proper customs clearance (declaration). Taking into account the specifics of such customs clearance, it is important that the customs declaration was carried out by a special entity that has the appropriate powers (a customs broker).

An important prerequisite for such registration is the conclusion of a foreign economic agreement between a Ukrainian company and a non-resident. Correct and successful customs clearance of the goods specified in it depends on compliance with the necessary conditions and rules for its registration. Otherwise, it may lead to misunderstandings between the parties to the contract, problems with determining the customs value of the goods or its codification, as well as fines for violating its terms.
