UkrSEPRO Declaration: Proof of conformity for Ukraine export

Ukraine is not a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). For this reason the TR CU (EAC) conformity system and thus also the corresponding proof of conformity do not apply here. Ukraine has its own rules and regulations to protect people and the environment. Here, the state committee regulates the system of product declaration and certification.

About UkrSEPRO

The UkrSEPRO standardization system regulates aspects and questions concerning consumer and environmental policy. In addition to the UkrSepro, another standard system exists in Ukraine: the technical regulation of the Ukraine. This system was first introduced as a preliminary standardisation for the subsequent influx of the Ukraine into the EAEU and thus also into the TR (EAC) regime. After the breach between Russia and Ukraine came, this project was no longer up-to-date, but the TR regulation of Ukraine had already achieved a firm position in product safety in many areas. Thus, you may be confronted with the fact that in addition to the UkrSepro declaration, you must also receive a TR declaration or a TR certificate.

Documentation for export to the Ukraine: UkrSEPRO declaration

For customs clearance and commissioning of goods within the Ukraine, as a general contractor or manufacturer, you must provide either a UkrSEPRO declaration or a UkrSEPRO certificate. This proof confirms compliance with the Ukrainian UkrSEPRO standards system. The UkrSepro standards system defines the legal requirements for quality and safety of the respective product. The Ukrainian standardization system determines for which products or product groups a UkrSEPRO declaration and for which a UkrSepro certification has to be made. By regulating the Gospotrebstandards in 2007 was determined for which products and goods is a declaration obligation for Ukraine. This information can be obtained free of charge from our experts in advance. The UkrSEPRO declaration is a document that allows you customs clearance, sales and commissioning within the Ukraine.

UkrSEPRO declaration: description and procedure

As far as customs clearance in Ukraine is concerned, it has to be proven that the goods and goods to be imported can neither harm people nor the environment and are thus harmless if handled correctly. This proof is provided by the UkrSepro declaration. This proof of conformity declares that your products comply with government requirements so that your goods can be cleared and put into service. In order to apply for this declaration, you need the following documents or information from you:
  • Commercial register extract
  • Detailed product description in Russian
  • Operating and maintenance instructions in Russian (if available)
  • European quality certificates such as ISO 9001 or CE (if available)
The validity period of a UkrSEPRO declaration can be contractual, limited or unlimited validation. When choosing the respective period of validity, we recommend that you use the experience of our experts and seek advice on this topic. The contract-related UkrSEPRO declarations can only be created during customs clearance at Ukrainian customs. If at the time of application for the proof of conformity, one or more of the required by the customs officer document cannot be presented, it can lead to high delays, depending on the product group and project. Therefore consider carefully, which type of UkrSEPRO declaration makes sense. We would be happy to advise you and weigh up all the pros and cons with you on this topic. After we have collected together all the documents described in advance, we can start immediately with the creation of your UkrSEPRO declaration. The preparation of this proof of conformity is usually one to two weeks. You will then receive an electronic copy by e-mail and a short time later the original document for your own documents by courier and can thus import your product to the Ukraine.
