( 2 ) The task of customs authorities is to control import and export of goods in Ukraine. They are responsible for preventing illegal importation of goods into the country (smuggling), as well as registering all traffic of departures and arrival of goods. Any parcel, upon arrival, goes to the customs checkpoint, where it is registered, checked, and sent immediately to the recipient, or left for customs clearance. It depends on the value of the shipment and the delivery price, if their amount exceeds 150 EUR – you have to pay tax and go through customs clearance.

Customs clearance is especially important for legal entities, as they are subject to more requirements from the customs and tax authorities. Not only confiscation of the cargo, but also a heavy fine or a court term may be imposed for the goods cleared illegally or incorrectly imported into the country.

We recommend you to deal with customs clearance either after consultation with a specialist, especially if we are talking about some specific goods, or to hire a customs broker and entrust this process to his care.

There are many subtleties and nuances associated with the clearance of a particular type of cargo, which may affect both the cost of customs clearance and its speed.

Frequent questions about customs clearance of TNT parcels and freight

How does the cost of the parcel affect customs clearance?

According to the Ukrainian legislation, parcels or shipments, the value of which, including delivery (for legal entities) exceeds the duty-free limit of 150 euro, must be cleared through customs, and their recipient must pay customs fees.

Also, depending on the value of the parcel and its contents, depends on how much tax you will be charged. It is calculated based on the difference in the price of the parcel and the minimum duty-free limit, as well as who the recipient is.

You can find out more about calculating the cost by contacting the managers of «Semero» Brokerage Company.

If the parcel was worth more than 150 euros, you need to go through customs clearance. Otherwise, the carrier will automatically return the parcel back to the sender if you don't clear it.

Due to the excess amount of duty-free limit, the parcel may be delayed at customs, which will create additional difficulties in obtaining it.

Legal entities should begin to deal with customs clearance issues in advance. It is necessary to carefully check the data in the accompanying documents and avoid mistakes or inconsistencies.

To be sure of fast and easy receiving of parcels and freight contact the customs broker «Semero».

Mistakes in the documents for a TNT parcel

One of the most common reasons for cargo detention at customs is mistakes or inconsistencies in accompanying documents.

Legal entities often indicate the company as the consignee, although the final consignee is an individual. Such mistakes have to be corrected or you will not be able to receive the shipment.

The process of changing the data can take time, and you should know the steps of its realization.

If mistakes have been made regarding the recipient (misspelled name or recipient has changed during delivery), you must first request that the sender change the data in the accompanying documents.

After that, the changes should be made in the delivery service documents, and later submitted to the customs authorities for processing.

At the same time, you must take into account that the period of storage of the parcel at customs is organic and is 30 days. This means that you must solve all problems with the documents within the specified period, otherwise, the parcel will be sent back to the sender, at the expense of the customer or you will pay for storage after the parcel is cleared.

«Semero» – our experience excludes any mistakes in your documents!

How to get product samples correctly

The purchase of samples of goods is a very delicate matter, and usually, the customer is more concerned about the election of the samples than about their delivery to Ukraine.

If you missed the moment and did not think about customs clearance in advance, you should worry about it as soon as possible, otherwise, it may lead to a delay in customs.

You can take care of customs clearance of samples yourself or use the services of a customs broker.

«Semero» has been handling customs clearance of freight and parcels for legal entities for more than 10 years.

And here are two pieces of advice we give to our customers: if possible, order samples for an individual, this will speed up the process of receiving the order. If this is not possible, then it is possible to issue a temporary import if the goods are to be returned to the sender.

If you want to know more about fast and high-quality customs clearance of samples, contact «Semero».

Parcels on a free-of-charge basis. How does customs clearance work?

It doesn't matter to customs whether or not you paid for this particular item, their algorithm always remains the same.

After the parcel or cargo arrives in Ukraine, it goes to the customs office, where its employees check the cost of receipt. If the parcel, including shipping, cost less than 150 euros, it goes straight to you.

But there is another scenario for which you should be prepared.

If the actual value of the parcel and delivery in total exceeds 150 euros, then you are required to go through customs clearance.

There are also cases when the documents for the parcel on a free-of-charge basis do not specify the value, and then the customs service will determine it independently. In that case, be prepared that the price may be very approximate.

Therefore, «Semero» recommends that you make sure that you are able to prove the actual value of the package (the price on the invoice or the receipt).

If you are not sure that you can properly take care of such important details, then leave it to the «Semero» customs broker.

Do I need a contract with TNT for customs clearance?

International delivery services, as well as many other companies, offer customers additional services, such as customs clearance of parcels and freight.

The task of the courier service is international door-to-door delivery, but customs formalities are paid for separately, and if you do not want them to deal with this, you simply refuse the contract with them.

You can either clear the goods yourself or hire a customs broker.

In addition, the sender or the agent can pay for the delivery.

In any case, the best option, especially when it comes to commercial cargo, is to consult with a specialist first.

Any little things related to customs can play a role. In order not to create unnecessary problems with customs clearance, contact a customs broker «Semero». We always know how to do the right thing

How to get a parcel or cargo fast from abroad?

To receive a parcel or cargo from abroad is simple enough, for this, you only need to consider in advance all the possible nuances, such as the peculiarities of customs requirements, and the importation of the type of goods that you are interested in.

This may include regulations on the import of goods; calculation of weight and dimensions; learning the code of goods and insurance conditions; preparing permits; calculating tax payments and risks; control the accuracy of filling out all the documents.

This list can be changed and supplemented depending on the specifics of the goods you are importing and their quantity.

We highly recommend not to engage in customs clearance of valuable goods and parcels to legal entities on their own, as it can put them at unreasonable risk.

Even the smallest mistakes and flaws in the documents can at least delay the cargo and at most lead to its confiscation or sending back to the sender.

Such a delivery result is not exactly what you would like. To avoid this you need an experienced customs broker.
