Export from Ukraine
Ukraine has passed to the market economy after gaining its independence from Soviet Union in 1990.
Ukraine is one of the world's most important mineral producing countries, in terms of both the range and size of its reserves. There are nearly 8,000 separate deposits, harboring some 90 different minerals, of which about 20 are economically significant. About half of all the known deposits are under exploitation. Coal reserves in Ukraine amount to 47.1 billion tons. The annual domestic demand for coal as fuel is about 100 million tons, of which 85 percent can be satisfied by domestic production.
Ukraine is rich in mineral deposits, including iron ore, manganese ore, mercury, titanium, and nickel. It has a major ferrous metal industry, producing cast iron, steel and pipes. Among its economy leading companies in that field are Metinvest, Kryvorizhstal, AzovStal, Ilyich Steel & Iron Works, and others. As of 2012, Ukraine is the world's tenth largest steel producer (according to World Steel Association).
Agriculture is a large part of Ukraine's economy. Ukraine is the world's largest producer of sunflower oil, the 3rd largest corn exporter in the world, a major global producer of grain and sugar, and future global player on meat and dairy markets. It is also one of the largest producers of nuts. Ukraine also produces more natural honey than any other European country and is one of the world's largest honey producers, an estimated 1.5% of its population is involved in honey production, therefore Ukraine has the highest honey per capita production rate in the world.
Ukraine exports mainly steel, coal, fuel and petroleum, chemicals, machinery and transport equipment, grains.
More than 60% of the exports goes to other former Soviet Republics countries with Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus being the most important, Turkey and China.
Import to Ukraine
The economy of Ukraine is an emerging free market, with a gross domestic product that fell sharply for the first 10 years of its independence from the Soviet Union, then experienced rapid growth from 2000 until 2008. Natural gas is Ukraine's biggest import and the main cause of the country's structural trade deficit.
Main industries in Ukraine are power generating, fuel, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, chemical and petrochemical and gas, machine-building and metal-working, forest, wood-working and wood pulp and paper, construction materials, light, food and others.
Ukraine's dependence on Russia for energy supplies and the lack of significant structural reform have made the Ukrainian economy vulnerable to external shocks. Ukraine depends on imports to meet about three-fourths of its annual oil and natural gas requirements and 100% of its nuclear fuel needs.
Ukraine's top imports are petroleum gas, refined petroleum, cars, packaged medicaments and coal briquettes.
Main import partners of Ukraine are Russia, China, Germany, Poland and Belarus.
Fuel and oil are number 1 export commodities in the world and essential part of humanity comfort living. Petroleum products include transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and the feedstocks used to make chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials found in nearly everything we use today.

Fuels are materials made to react so that they release chemical or nuclear energy as heat or to be used for work. The heat energy released by reactions of fuels is converted into mechanical energy via a heat engine. Other times the heat itself is valued for warmth, cooking, or industrial processes, as well as the illumination that comes with combustion.
Oil most often refers to:
- petroleum (crude oil), naturally occurring liquid found beneath the Earth's surface, or a derived product
- fuel oil, liquid fuel burned for heat or power
- heating oil, liquid fuel used for building furnaces or boilers
- motor oil, any of various lubricants used in internal combustion engines.
Fuel oil or heavy oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue. It is any liquid fuel that is burned in a furnace or boiler for the generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power.
Chemical fuels are divided into natural fuels and artificial fuels.
Solid fuels: wood, coal, peat, dung, coke, charcoal, wood pellets.
Liquid fuels: petroleum (diesel, gasoline, kerosene, LPG, coal tar, naptha, ethanol).
Gaseous fuels: natural gas (hydrogen, propane, butane, coal gas, water gas, blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, CNG).
Biofuel can be broadly defined as solid, liquid, or gas fuel consisting of, or derived from biomass. Biomass can also be used directly for heating or power—known as biomass fuel. Biofuel can be produced from any carbon source that can be replenished rapidly e.g. plants. Many different plants and plant-derived materials are used for biofuel manufacture.
Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal and petroleum (liquid petroleum or natural gas), formed from the fossilized remains of ancient plants and animals by exposure to high heat and pressure in the absence of oxygen in the Earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. Commonly, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived entirely from biological sources, such as tar sands. These latter sources are properly known as mineral fuels.
Nuclear fuel is any material that is consumed to derive nuclear energy. Technically speaking, All matter can be a nuclear fuel because any element under the right conditions will release nuclear energy, but the materials commonly referred to as nuclear fuels are those that will produce energy without being placed under extreme duress.
The petroleum industry generally classifies crude oil by the geographic location it is produced in (for ex. West Texas Intermediate, Brent, or Oman), its API gravity (an oil industry measure of density), and its sulfur content. Crude oil may be considered light if it has low density or heavy if it has high density; and it may be referred to as sweet if it contains relatively little sulfur or sour if it contains substantial amounts of sulfur.

Ukraine is a member o the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Zone, International Chamber of Commerce, World Customs Organization, World Trade Organization and other international organizations.
Customs duties
The import duty is based on the CIF value of goods. Apart from import duties, importers will also have to pay a value added tax. The VAT is generally levied on goods and services at 20%, calculated on the Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value plus import duty. Special VAT regimes apply to certain goods.
There are excise duties levied on food, beer, wine, spirits, tobacco and fuel.
Documentation
The following documents are required to import goods into Ukraine:
- commercial invoice showing the value of the goods (prepared in English and Ukrainian)

Customs clearance of goods (regular export-import documentation) is required by the Ukrainian authorities when transporting goods between mainland Ukraine and Crimea. Customs clearance is carried out at border checkpoints with Crimea.
There are around 80 customs points across Ukrainian border - all international air and sea ports, railway and road border crossing points. Every customs point covers a particular geographical area.
Main documents for customs clearance:
The following documents are to be submitted to the customs authorities for customs clearance:
1) cargo custom declaration
2) a copy of license, if goods are subject to licensing
3) all permits issued by a state authority, if the goods are subject to special customs control by a certain body
4) customs value declaration
5) commercial and shipping documents
The importer must within a ten day period render to the customs authorities the full package of documents.
Declaring of any export-import operation is performed by issuance and submission to the Customs authority a special form - Cargo Custom Declaration. The Declaration is a unified document, which provides necessary description of the cargo, its price and customs value, information about exporter (importer), which is a party to the supply contract, broker (declarant), consignee, customs authority which performed the customs clearance, means of transportation, a list of all commercial and shipping documents related to the cargo, describes payment of all custom duties and charges related to the export-import of the commodity.
