The State Customs Service of Ukraine will be ready to accept electronic applications for the authorized economic operators (AEO) status in two or three weeks. However, the first AEO in Ukraine can be expected only from January 2021 due to the long period of the assessment procedure.
“The State Customs Service informs that they will be ready to accept electronic applications for the AEO status in two or three weeks. As of today, the State Customs Service has not yet received any requests from companies for AEO authorization. Therefore, even if the first application is received in the coming days, the first authorized economic operators in Ukraine can be expected only from January 2021 due to the long period of the assessment procedure of the company’s compliance with AEO criteria,” reads the statement of the European Business Association released after the EBA representatives meeting with Ihor Muratov, Acting Head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine on August 6.

As noted, the applicants can send the necessary package of documents in paper form to the Service by mail or send a scanned version of the documents to the e-mail of the Office of the State Customs Service.

“The discussion was focused on the current status of the AEO concept in Ukraine, including the recently approved Government Resolution No.665 of July 29, 2020, the concept of customs reform proposed by the Office of Simple Solutions and Results, as well as the value control risks issue,” the statement reads.
