Ukraine: New Rules on Authorised Economic Operators Implemented in Ukraine

Law No 141-IX of 2 October 2019 introduced comprehensive changes to the Customs Code of Ukraine aimed at making the rules on Authorised Economic Operators (AEO) operational and bringing them in line with similar European regulations.

According to these rules there are two types of customs authorisations:

• on the entitlement to special simplifications (“AEO-S”)
• on confirmation of security and reliability (“AEO-B”).

These types of customs authorisation are different in terms of sets of available advantages and criteria which should be met as conditions for obtaining the status.

Companies may choose one of the authorisations or apply for both.

Advantages and special simplifications for each type of customs authorisation are described below:
