Ukrainian Classification of Goods for Foreign Economic Activity (UCGFEA) – is compiled on the basis of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union. Used by the customs authorities of Ukraine for the classification (coding) of goods in customs clearance.

UCGFEA is an integral addition to the Law of Ukraine “On Customs Tariff of Ukraine” of September 19, 2013, № 584-VII.

The definition of the code allows to:

• determine correctly the rate of duty and the amount of additional taxes (VAT, excise duty) and other payments;
• determine the import-export modes of goods;
• compare customs tariffs and statistics on foreign trade.

Vinnytsia CCI issues expert opinions on codes of goods in accordance with UCGFEA, which can be used for:

• Registration of cargo customs declarations and certificates of origin of goods;
• registration of licenses of the Ministry of Economy and permits of the Ministry of Ecology;
• registration of foreign economic contracts;
• registration of medical devices and medicines;
• filling in tax reports and in other cases.

The expert opinion of the CCI has the status of an official document and can be used in court to resolve disputes. At customs clearance, the expert opinion is considered by the customs authorities as an additional source of information.

TARIC, the Integrated Tariff of the European Union, is a multilingual database in which are integrated all measures relating to EU customs tariff, commercial and agricultural legislation. By integrating and coding these measures, the TARIC secures their uniform application by all Member States and gives all economic operators a clear view of all measures to be undertaken when importing into the EU or exporting goods from the EU. It also makes it possible to collect EU-wide statistics for the measures concerned.
