Ukrainian government introduces new rules for agricultural exports under martial law

November 3, 2023 - The Government approved Decree No 1132 'On the Implementation of an Experimental Project for the Verification of Agricultural Establishments under Martial Law'. The document changes the rules on the export of agricultural products. The Resolution was prepared by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.

The new rules should make it impossible to abuse and violate the laws during the export of agricultural products. They should also protect the rights of agricultural entrepreneurs who comply with export laws.

The coordinators of the pilot project are the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of France, the State Customs Service and the State Tax Service.

A list of verified agribusiness organisations exporting goods will be compiled. In particular, cereals, oilseeds and processed products.

In order for an entrepreneur to be included in the list of exporters, he must meet 4 criteria:

  • Be a VAT player at the time of the export application and as of 23 February 2022.
  • No tax debts related to the refund of foreign currency earnings.
  • The entrepreneur was not provided with an act of the State Tax Service on his absence at the place of legal registration during verification of compliance with currency legislation.
  • The entrepreneur has documentary evidence from the bank where he works that between 23 February 2022 and 27 October 2023 he carried out at least one successful export operation resulting in a refund of foreign exchange earnings.

In order to be included in the list of verified exporters, an entrepreneur is first required to register with the DAR, if not already registered. Secondly, they must obtain a confirmation letter from their bank confirming that they have completed a successful export operation. The third step is to submit an application to the DAR, in which you must indicate your VAT taxpayer code and attach a scanned copy of the letter from the bank.

The decision on inclusion in the list of exporters will be made within 3 working days after the application is submitted.

Information on agricultural entrepreneurs included in the list of verified organisations will be updated daily.

The decision will enter into force 10 days after its publication. That is, from 10 November. Until then, customs will carry out export processing according to the usual procedures in force today.
