The Cabinet of Ministers has adopted a resolution aimed at simplifying all customs procedures as much as possible.

This was stated in a video address by Prime Minister Denis Shmygal.

He stressed that they are waiting for the decision of the Verkhovna Rada, which should exempt from duty and VAT all goods that go to Ukraine today.

"We aim to create the fastest customs in the world. No paperwork at customs. No VAT and duties immediately after the adoption and entry into force of amendments to the Customs and Tax Codes. Anyone who wants to stick to the general system pays only VAT, and this registration should take no more than 15 minutes. Those who just want to bring the goods to Ukraine without any customs clearance - fill out the customs declaration in advance and come," the Prime Minister said.

On 18 March, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his address said that he had instructed the government, the National Security and Defense Council, and the Verkhovna Rada to speed up the supply of all necessary goods from abroad.

Customs has simplified the procedure for delivering humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
