2. Read and translate the text. Ukrainian Customs Declaration

If you have any goods or items that are subject to declaration, you should fill in a special customs declaration form (available upon arrival) and pass through the “red corridor” at a Ukrainian airport or customs point at the border. If you don’t have anything to declare, you may cross the Ukrainian border through the “green corridor”.

If you bring in something that you think may be questioned when you come out of Ukraine, it’s better to declare it directly when you come in. that way you will be able to prove you are not exporting it, but had it with you when you entered the country first place. Always make sure you keep the stamped declaration until the end of your trip to avoid problems when leaving the country.

The following items are subject to declaration and limited entry to Ukraine. These items (or excess) should be declared and you should pass through the “red corridor”. Some of the items that are being brought to Ukraine permanently, for sale or commercial use, may incur customs tax, which can go up to 30% of the total price (that is usually determined by the customs officials).

• Cash foreign currencies (if equivalent or more than $ 3000 US);

• Stocks and securities, including travelers cheques;

• Alcohol (if more than 2 litters);

• Cigarettes (if more than 100), tobacco (if more than 250 gram), cigar (in more than 50);

• Caviar (if more than 250 gram), sturgeon (if more than 250 gram);

• Items for commercial activity (including advertising materials).

If you have less than the allowed amount of the items listed above (e.g. $2000 US currency, 100 gm of caviar, 1 bottle of vodka etc.), then you do not need to declare it when you come/leave Ukraine and you don’t have to pay extra money to be able to bring it through. Just go through the “green corridor”. You can still bring in between $3000 and $ 10,000 (or equivalent), but if you have more than $ 3000, you need to declare it, so when you leave the country you can prove you are taking the money out of Ukraine.
