Customs

Shipments booked via DHL for delivery to private individuals can only be sent to the cities of Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Mariupol, Lviv and Simferopol.

Detailed goods description for each individual item is required. (General description like gift or personal effects is not acceptable by Customs).

Adoption of new version of Customs Code from Friday 1 June 2012 in Ukraine means that all non-doc shipments under customs control or not received by consignee, when the storage period exceeds 30 days, will be returned to the shipper, without informing the sender or receiver.

Before sending your parcel to Ukraine, please make sure that none of the items in your parcels contravene the restrictions imposed by customs at destination.

Documents Needed

After you have paid for a shipping service to Ukraine, you will be redirected to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e

AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.

The above documents are standard for any international shipment.

Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.

Restrictions

Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on luggage.

A shipment to Ukraine is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation. Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently forbidden for transport.

The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice

Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during transit or any associated automated distribution process.

Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A to B safely.

The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

Perhaps the most striking thing about the Ukrainian city of Donetsk, on the banks of the River Kalmius, is the fact that it was founded in 1869 by a Welsh businessman named John Hughes, who established several coal mines and a steel works in the area. For this reason a statue of Hughes was erected in 2001 in front of Donetsk National Technical University, which is a monument to his role in the founding of the city. To this day, Donetsk is a regional centre for the production of steel and coal, boasting seventeen coal mines and five large steel plants, with complementary sectors devoted to the fields of heavy industry and manufacturing. Although clearly reliant on this heavy industry, Donetsk is also renowned as a regional centre for education, with facilities that include five state universities, eleven institutes, five private universities and six colleges.
