EU officially lifts duties on Ukrainian goods

On June 4, 2022 the Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council № 2022/870 on temporary measures for liberalization of trade entered into force. This decision complements the opportunities that Ukrainian exporters have under the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, reports ProAgro Group with reference to the official information of the Ministry of Economy.

Now the tariffs that are spelled out in the agreement will be temporarily suspended. These are:

  • duties for industrial products;
  • suspension of the system of input prices for fruits and vegetables;
  • suspension of all tariff quotas for agricultural products;
  • suspension of anti-dumping duties on imports of goods originating from Ukraine;
  • suspension of global protective measures against Ukrainian goods.

In its turn, the liberalization of trade relations envisages that Ukraine will adhere to European rules: the origin of goods and respective procedures in the framework of the Association Agreement, refraining from any new restrictions on imports from the EU, Ukraine’s respect for democratic principles, human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law. These new rules will be valid for a year and will help Ukrainian producers and exporters to withstand the burden of war and strengthen their positions in the European market.
