FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Working with a customs broker is similar to hiring an accountant for tax filing. It’s not mandatory, but the small brokerage fee is a worthwhile investment, as incorrect declarations can lead to hefty fines and additional charges.
A customs broker manages the entire customs clearance process, ensuring that goods are properly declared and that all import activities comply with legal regulations. Essentially, a customs broker is an expert in preparing customs documentation, which is crucial for safe and seamless clearance of cargo.
Their key responsibilities include:
- Assigning the correct HS Code (UCCFEA).
- Coordinating with all logistics parties.
- Handling licensing and customs accreditation.
- Verifying shipping documentation.
- Calculating and arranging customs duty payments.
- Ensuring timely cargo release
- Avoiding the hassle of handling customs procedures yourself.

Each product crossing the border is assigned a 10-digit code, which is used to uniquely identify the item, determine customs duties and taxes, and establish the necessary regulatory controls.
Using an incorrect HS Code (UCCFEA) or misclassifying goods during customs clearance can result in significant fines and, in some cases, even cargo confiscation.
Suppliers must list the HS Code on all commercial and shipping documents.
The best practice is to confirm the correct HS Code with a customs broker before signing contracts. This ensures accurate product descriptions, proper regulatory compliance, and avoids last-minute code changes by customs authorities.
To import branded or copyrighted goods into Ukraine, you need the proper licenses. Work with your customs broker to verify compliance before shipment, as violations can lead to cargo seizure, high penalties, return costs, or even destruction of goods.
A common issue in customs clearance is cargo being held at the border due to higher-than-expected duties or an incorrect or incomplete customs declaration. By using our customs brokerage services, you can easily avoid unnecessary complications and risks during the clearance process.
We manage customs documentation by maintaining a structured digital filing system and utilizing specialized software to ensure compliance and discrepancy checks.
