Tî the issue of imports of halva to Ukraine

 

Import activity is important for social and economic development of the country. An important feature is the possibility of ambiguous and often contradictory approaches to the assessment of the socio-economic impact of import activity for the economy.

When a shipment reaches the Ukraine, the importer of record (i. c., the owner, purchaser, or licensed customs broker designated by the owner, purchaser, or consignee) will file entry documents for the goods with the port director at the port of entry. Halva imported are not legally entered until after the shipment has arrived within the port of entry, delivery of halva was authorized by customs duties and value to be paid. It is the responsibility of the importer of record to arrange for examination and release of the halva.

In addition to the Ukraine Customs Service, importers should contact other agencies when questions regarding particular commodities arise. For example, questions about products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration should be forwarded to the   nearest FDA district office.

The same is true for alcohol, tobacco, firearms, wildlife products (furs, skins, shells), motor vehicles, and other products and merchandise regulated by the 60 federal agencies for which Customs enforces entry laws.

Halva may be entered for consumption, entered for warehouse at the port of arrival, or they may be transported in - bond to another port of entry and entered there under the same conditions as at the port of arrival. Arrangements for transporting the halva to the interior port in -bond may be made by the consignee, by a customs broker, or by any other person having a sufficient interest in the halva for that-purpose. Unless your halva arrives directly at the port where you wish to enter it, you may be charged additional fees by the carriers for transportation to that port if other arrangements have not been made.

Halva may be entered only by the owner, purchaser, or by a licensed customs broker. The bill of lading, properly endorsed by the consignor, may serve as evidence of the right to make entry. An air waybill may be used for merchandise arriving by air.

The entry of halva is a two part consisting of filing the documents necessary to determine whether merchandise maybe released from Customs custody and filing the documents which contain information for duty assessment and statistical purposes. Both of these processes can be accomplished electronically by the Automated Commercial Systems.

Within five working days of the date of arrival of a shipment at a Ukraine port of entry, entry documents must be filed at a location specified by the director, unless an extension is granted. These documents consist of:

- Entry Manifest;

- Evidence of right to make entry;

- Commercial invoice or a pro forma invoice when the commercial invoice cannot be produced;

- Packing lists if appropriate;

- Other documents necessary to determine merchandise admissibility.

If the halva arc to be released from Customs custody on entry documents, an entry summary for consumption must be filed and estimated duties deposited at the port of entry within ten working days of the time the goods are entered and released. Entry summary documentation consists of:

- The  entry package returned  to  the  importer,  broker, or his authorised agent after merchandise is permitted release;

- Entry summary;

- Other invoices and documents necessary for the assessment of duties, collection of statistics, or the determination that all import requirements have been satisfied.

Thus, on the one hand, the import activity contributes to meeting the needs of the country in not produced or produced in insufficient quantities of goods, thus providing a rapid saturation of the domestic market and the cost of labor. Import activity can increase employment in trade and related sectors to raise the standards of industrial and personal use through the purchase of advanced products and technologies that provide significant regular income to the government. On the other hand, at some point due to the weakness of domestic producers import activity leads to a dramatic and unsustainable increase in the share of foreign products in the domestic consumption.
