The Ukrainian government cancelled export licensing for certain types of agricultural products, including grains, legumes, oilseeds and oil, starting from December 1, 2024, at a meeting on Friday, Ukrainian media said, citing the Economy Ministry’s press service.
“The export control system will take effect on December 1, enabling automatic tracking of exports of certain types of agricultural products. Seeking to avoid state control redundancy, we cancel export licensing for respective agricultural products introduced earlier for the sake of return of foreign-currency revenues. This will facilitate business operations of exporters of agricultural products,” Deputy Economy Minister, Ukrainian Trade Representative Taras Kachka said.
He explained the cancellation of agricultural product licensing with the need to avoid misunderstandings in customs clearance of exports.
“Licensing exports of wheat, corn, sunflower seeds and rapeseed to Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland remains unchanged,” Kachka said.
According to the Economy Ministry, the export control system allows exports exclusively by registered value added tax payers, electronic exchange of information between the National Bank, the State Tax Service and the State Customs Service for tracking and monitoring exporters’ compliance with legal requirements, and specific requirements to drawing up and registering a tax invoice in the Unified Tax Invoice Register.
Meanwhile, the Agrarian Policy and Food Ministry will set monthly minimum export prices for goods subject to the export control system, so the difference between the invoice and customs value of goods should not be negative.
