ETNA brok (services of the customs broker Uzhgorod) advises on the issues of drawing up export-import contracts providing a complete analytical forecast concerning:

• a correctly defined code of the goods specified in the contract (which affects the amount of duties, excises and the requirement to obtain permits)
• conclusion of the specialist on questions of currency control
• examination of applications that is an integral part of the contract

Customs brokerage services in this case provide for verification of all provisions of export-import contracts for compliance with the current Ukrainian legislation and international documents, the observance of which is mandatory in each specific customs clearance.

In accordance with the situation of customs clearance of goods (Uzhgorod) in specific cases, the contract must individually provide the issue of acquiring ownership of the goods by the recipient. If necessary, we may recommend an independent expert evaluation of the product, which will help to avoid disputes with the customs authorities in the future.

A separate important issue in the contract texts is to determine the circumstances of force majeure, which in Ukraine have a list fixed at the legislative level, most often different from the understanding of force majeure by the other side. That is why this issue requires special attention and regulation.
