**Report Highlights:**

There have been no major changes affecting agricultural product quality,
safety, and sanitation regulations in Ukraine since submission of the
last report. Only select legislative changes were made, a requirement
for WTO accession. Veterinary certificates for red meat and products
were negotiated between the United States and Ukraine in March 2006,
although bilateral trade in these products has not begun. Product
specific requirements for pet food, meats, feed additives, seeds and
livestock genetics are provided in this report.

**This report was prepared by the Office of Agricultural Affairs of the
USDA/Foreign Agricultural Service in Kiev, Ukraine for U.S. exporters of
domestic food and agricultural products. While every possible care was
taken in the preparation of this report, information provided may not be
completely accurate either because policies have changed since its
preparation, or because clear and consistent information about these
policies was not available. It is highly recommended that U.S. exporters
verify the full set of import requirements with their foreign customers,
who are normally best equipped to research such matters with local
authorities, before any goods are shipped. FINAL IMPORT APPROVAL OF ANY
PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO THE IMPORTING COUNTRY\'S RULES AND REGULATIONS AS
INTERPRETED BY BORDER OFFICIALS AT THE TIME OF PRODUCT ENTRY.**

# SECTION I. FOOD LAWS

# 

Ukraine possesses a complicated and costly system of food safety
inherited from the Soviet Union. Controls are implemented by various
state agencies that often have overlapping functions. The following
agencies of the Government of Ukraine (GOU) are involved in assuring the
safety of domestically produced and imported food products, and animal
and plant health issues:

-   State Epidemiological Service (SES) of the Ministry of Health Care
    of Ukraine (MHCU) establishes food safety standards and is
    responsible for ALL aspects of food safety;

-   State Department of Veterinary Medicine (SDVM) of the Ministry of
    Agricultural Policy of Ukraine (MAPU) is responsible for animal
    health, safety and wholesomeness of meat, seafood and other products
    of animal origin;

-   Main State Phytosanitary Inspection Service (MSPIS) of the MAPU is
    responsible for plant health issues;

-   State Committee of Ukraine on Technical Regulations and Consumer
    Policy (SCUTRCP) is responsible for compliance of food products with
    existing quality and safety standards;

-   State Ecological Inspection Service (SEIS) of the Ministry of
    Environment and Natural Resources of Ukraine (MENRU) is responsible
    for radiological and environmental control.

Ukraine is not yet a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and
does not notify its trading partners of proposed regulatory changes.
Therefore, it is difficult for foreign suppliers to be aware of the most
current food safety regulations. Suppliers should work with experienced
importers in order to verify most current import requirements prior to
shipping to Ukraine. It is expected that Ukraine will comply with the
WTO Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures
(the SPS Agreement) at the time of accession. Currently, certain
sanitary measures used in Ukraine could be considered as non-compliant
with provisions of the WTO agreement and/or with the standards
established by international standards setting bodies, as well as with
internationally accepted trade practices.

Customs clearance and co-related inspections in Ukraine are fee-based
and are viewed by many regulatory agencies as a source of additional
revenues. Exporters should be prepared for two or more GOU agencies to
take samples from their shipment and test for the same safety
indicators.

Although the country's regulatory environment is constantly evolving,
most food safety standards have not been revised since the breakup of
the Soviet Union in 1991. The main document which regulates food safety
indicators in Ukraine is *the Medical and Biological Requirements and
Sanitary Norms of Quality of Raw Food Materials and Food Products* that
was approved by the Ministry of Health Care of the USSR on August 1,
1989. This document divides all food products into nine major
categories: meat, meat products, poultry and eggs; milk and dairy
products; fish, fish products and other seafood; bread, pasta and
cereals; sugar and confectionary, vegetables, melons and gourds, fruits,
berries and processed products of thereof; fat products; drinks and
fermented products and other products. The document establishes a set of
nutritional (content of protein, energy, carbohydrates, vitamins, micro
elements, etc) and safety (maximum residue levels (MRLs) for heavy
metals, mycro-toxins, antibiotics, hormones, pesticides and
microbiological limits) standards for each product category. Ukrainian
health authorities have declared their intention to revisit the norms;
however, no published information is available at this point.

Imported food products must meet the same requirements as domestically
produced foods. While enforcement of food safety norms has been
generally effective, outdated nutritional norms have not been rigorously
enforced. The list of applicable Ukrainian legislation on food safety
available in English is in Appendix IV.

# SECTION II. LABELING REQUIREMENTS

All food products sold in Ukraine must be labeled in accordance with the
Law of Ukraine On Quality and Safety of Food Products and Food Raw
Materials (see Appendix XII for a link to an English version of the
Law). The label must contain the following information:

1\) Name of food product;

2\) Nominal quantity of food product (weight or volume in metric system
measures);

3\) List of all ingredients in the food product, including other food
products and food additives used;

4\) Nutritive values and energy, if applicable;

5\) Expiry date, or the date of production with indicated shelf life;

6\) Storage conditions;

7\) Indication of a normative document according to which the product
was produced (applicable for domestic food products);

8\) Producer's name, address and place of production;

9\) Terms of use (if any);

10\) Presence of genetically modified organisms (GMO);

11\) Warning for consumption of food products by certain consumer
categories (children, pregnant, senior people, athletes etc.)

The label must be in the Ukrainian language and meet the above mentioned
requirements; therefore, the product cannot enter Ukraine with only a
standard U.S. label.

Stick-on tags that meet Ukrainian food safety law requirements are
allowed and can be placed on the side or over the standard U.S. label. A
sample of the stick-on tag is provided in Appendix V. There are no
restrictions as to the number of languages and some products sold in
Ukraine have been labeled with as many as ten European languages
(Appendix VI).

Customs authorities require compliance with Ukrainian labeling
requirements prior to granting final clearance to the product. Some
importers prefer to deal with products that already contain labels that
meet the Ukrainian requirements while others prefer to attach labels in
a licensed customs warehouse in Ukraine.

The product's expiration date (or its shelf life indicated with the date
of production) must appear on the label. Although Ukrainian food safety
legislation allows the producers to determine the shelf life of the
product, it is highly advisable to verify with the importer whether it
meets the existing Ukrainian technical regulations (GOST or DSTU). There
have been some discrepancies between producer-determined shelf life and
old Soviet-era technical standards that have allowed the Ukrainian
veterinary authorities to block certain seafood products.

The legislation and implementing regulations do not set the rules for
label size and format; however, they stipulate that labels must be
"easily understood". It is prohibited to include health claims, make
statements targeting particular consumer groups (children, pregnant
women, athletes) without prior approval from the MHCU.

Biotechnology content labeling requirements have been in place since
November 2002. However, no labeling threshold has been established by
the GOU. State GMO testing techniques as well as labeling enforcement
have been weak and FAS-Kiev has not seen a single label referring to GMO
content in Ukraine.

# 

# SECTION III. PACKAGING AND CONTAINER REQUIREMENTS

As a part of the mandatory state sanitary and hygiene testing, the
packaging of imported food products is also checked for transfer of
polymers (and other) to food products. Regulations on Ukrainian
packaging requirements can be obtained from the Institute of Ecohygiene
and Toxicology of the MHCU (see Appendix I).

Exporters must consider utilization of used packaging material while
planning their shipment to Ukraine. Ukrainian legislation on Waste
Products requires the provision on utilization or re-exportation of used
packaging materials in the export contract (Article #17, Law \# 3073-III
dated March 3, 2002).

There are no particular container requirements in Ukraine. Due to small
shipment volumes from overseas, exporters should be prepared to ship
mixed product loads in one container. It is required to have a separate
health or veterinary certificate for each homogenous product lot in the
container. Odessa and Illichivsk Trade Sea Ports are by far the leading
ports for handling containerized cargoes in Ukraine and can accept
general-purpose containers. Both ports can handle refrigerated
containers. It is highly advisable to verify with the freight forwarder
whether or not other ports can process a particular cargo, pallet or
container size.

In cases where U.S. legislation allows for reuse of packaging, all old
labels must be completely removed from the boxes found within a
container. FAS-Kiev is aware of at least one case when double labeling
caused problems for a U.S. exporter. For many products subject to
veterinary control there are separate packaging or disinfections
requirements. In such cases they are clearly indicated in the bilateral
health certificate (see Veterinary Inspection Chapter in the Section
VI).

# SECTION IV. FOOD ADDITIVE REGULATIONS

# 

Ukraine maintains a positive list of food additives. Recommendations of
the CODEX Alimentarius Commission, an international food safety standard
setting body, are considered in approving new food additives; however,
the MHCU conducts its own risk assessment for each new substance. The
list of approved food additives in Ukraine is provided in Appendix VII).
It is prohibited to import food products that contain food additives
that have not received approval from MHCU.

There are four food additives, which are not on the list of approved
additives, but which have been cleared for use in imported products. The
Ukrainian sanitary authorities have conducted a food safety risk
assessment and have established maximum allowed levels (MAL) in order to
monitor imported food products (Appendix VIII). Importers of food
products that contain non-registered food additives may seek their
registration with the MHCU. There is no information available on the MAL
for approved food additives since the GOU discontinued publishing them
in January 1999.

# SECTION V. PESTICIDE AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS 

Ukraine establishes its own Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for chemical
and biological contaminants in food products. An illustrative list of
MRLs controlled by the GOU in meat products is provided in Appendix IX.
The Ukrainian sanitary service recognizes the norms established by the
Codex Alimentarius Commission for non-registered pesticides in the case
of imported foods.

The use of officially registered pesticides and their application
procedures are controlled by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural
Resources (MENR) using the norms established by the MHCU. The MENR
publishes the Catalogue of Pesticides and Agricultural Chemicals Allowed
for Use in Ukraine every year. The Catalogue lists all registered
pesticides by brand name, active ingredients, MRLs in different
agricultural products, water, soil and air. Agricultural chemicals not
listed in the catalogue cannot be used domestically, and no residues in
agricultural products are allowed.

# 

# SECTION VI. OTHER REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS 

Agricultural and food products imported into the customs territory of
Ukraine shall be subject to sanitary testing, compulsory certification,
radiological, veterinary and/or phytosanitary inspections. Due to the
complexity of Ukrainian food safety regulations, FAS Kiev has prepared a
single table to illustrate the types of controls exercised on imported
products by the Harmonized System (HS) of Codes (Appendix X). Sanitary
and veterinary inspections have been combined into one category for
convenience, although, a separate veterinary inspection is conducted for
the products that fall under the following headings of the HS: 01-05;
07; 10; 12; 14-16; 19; 21 and 23.

## State Sanitary Inspection of Food Products

State sanitary inspection of food products is the major element in the
Ukrainian food safety system. It is especially true for processed
products that are not subject to veterinary and/or phytosanitary
control. The State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of the MHCU test
imported food products for compliance with *the Medical and Biological
Requirements and Sanitary Norms of Quality of Raw Food materials and
Food Products* referenced in Section I of this report. The MHCU issues
to the importer the certificate of state sanitary and hygiene testing
upon the completion of required tests. The importer or producer must pay
for such testing for each food product.

## Certification

Imported food products listed in Appendix X are subject to mandatory
conformity certification in Ukraine. The cost of certification is born
by an applicant (either exporter or importer). There are usually two
options available to exporters and importers depending on the value and
the frequency of shipments as compared with the cost of certification.
The first option requires compliance by a foreign facility to the
existing Ukrainian norms and regulations on quality and safety. The
supplier receives a certificate of conformity valid for two-three years
and that avoids certification of each shipment. The second option
involves certification of each product shipment with mandatory
laboratory tests upon arrival in Ukraine. The State Committee of Ukraine
on Technical Regulations and Consumer Policy (SCUTRCP) is in charge for
conformity certification procedures and controls availability of the
valid certificate for eligible food products sold in the customs
territory of Ukraine. The same state entity maintains the Single State
Register of Certified Products.

Certification is conducted for compliance with state quality standards
(GOST -- old soviet standards or DSTU -- Ukrainian national standards)
and safety norms (tolerance levels of toxic elements, pesticides,
mycotoxins, bacterial contamination and radionuclides). There are more
than 100 institutions that are authorized to conduct certification in
the Ukrainian State Certification System UkrSEPRO. The samples are
collected independently from the sanitary and veterinary inspections
samples.

U.S. exporters can also refer to the Country Commercial Guide prepared
by the Foreign Commercial Service of the U.S. Department of Commerce in
Kiev to learn more about certification in Ukraine and recognition of the
international ISO-9000 series standards in Ukraine (Chapter 6: Trade
Regulations and Standards, Subchapter J). A link to the above mentioned
report is located in Appendix II.

## Phytosanitary Inspection

In cases when phytosanitary inspection of food and/or agricultural
products is required, the exporters or freight forwarders are advised to
obtain a copy of the Import Permit issued by the MSPQIS prior to
applying for the Federal Phytosanitary Certificate, PPQ Form 577 issued
by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service:
(<http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ppq/pim/exports/577.pdf>). The Import Permit
contains product-specific requirements, including disinfection and/or
disinfestation treatment. If such treatment is required, the PPQ Form
577 should contain the necessary information on the chemical,
concentration used, duration, temperature and date of treatment.

Ukrainian Phytosanitary inspectors will conduct an initial inspection of
the cargo at the port of entry and will take product samples for a
laboratory test to verify that live quarantine pests are not present in
the cargo. The product will have to be either fumigated again or refused
entry if quarantined pests are found alive at the port of entry. The
local branch of the MSPQIS conducts the secondary phytosanitary
inspection at an in-land point of product destination to verify
compliance with import conditions. The product will receive the final
phytosanitary clearance following the secondary inspection.

## 

## Veterinary Inspection

Requirement for products that are subject to state veterinary
surveillance and control are established up by Order #71, adopted by the
State Department of Veterinary Medicine (SDVM) on June 14, 2004. The
order contains a complete list of such products and lists the
requirements for each product. (The list is provided in Appendix XIII).
Prospective U.S. exporters should refer to the list even if the
commodity in question is not subject to veterinary control in the U.S.
Ukrainian state veterinarians at the border may conduct inspection of
canned products that contain very small amounts of meat or animal fat,
animal feeds of plant origin (such as soybean meal), ready-to-eat
seafood products and frozen fish. It is advised to contact an importer
to find out about most recent changes in the list. At this point there
is no clear line that would separate SDVM authority from the State
Sanitary and Epidemiological Service authority in animal products, so in
some cases both inspections could be demanded. FAS Kiev is unaware of
cases when import veterinary inspections of products other than those in
Appendix XIII were performed.

Every shipment arriving in Ukraine will be inspected and sampled
regardless of the statements made in the accompanying health
certificate. The exporter or importer will have to bear the costs
associated with border lab testing or the cost of appeal which is
arbitrated at the Central Laboratory of the Veterinary Service. The cost
of testing varies between US \$80 and \$500 depending on the number of
tests required and number of uniform lots in the shipment. The testing
procedure will take up to 7 days, which makes the import of some highly
perishable goods impractical or impossible. In some cases Ukrainian
veterinarians may examine a shipment for compliance with Ukrainian State
Standards (GOSTs and DSTUs). The importer should be aware that product
shelf life terms in the Ukrainian Standards are often shorter than
those, adopted in the U.S. Imported products may remain wholesome
according to the U.S. export certificate, but have expired shelf life
according to Ukrainian terms. U.S. exporters are advised to contact
their Ukrainian partners to avoid this problem.

Please note, that definition of "allotment" is not defined by Ukrainian
legislation. In some cases the Ukrainian veterinary service defines
allotments based on production dates (boxes produced 3 days apart maybe
defined as belonging to different allotments). Many importers will
request U.S. exporters to ship fewer allotments to avoid excessive
sampling, testing and long delays. Exporters should notice that none of
the existing bilateral certificates requires veterinary inspections of
U.S. facilities.

The list of products, allowed for export to Ukraine and falling under
the auspicious of the Food Safety Inspection Service can be found on the
official FSIS web page:
[*http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Regulations\_&\_Policies/Ukraine_Requirements/index.asp*](http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Regulations_&_Policies/Ukraine_Requirements/index.asp)

Protocols for exporting animals to Ukraine are available through the
International Regulations Retrieval System (IRRS) of USDA's Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service at the following address:
[*http://www.aphis.usda.gov/NCIE/iregs/animals/up.html*](http://www.aphis.usda.gov/NCIE/iregs/animals/up.html)

For frozen fish and seafood products an exporter is advised to contact
the proper U.S. Competent Authorities. An export certificate can be
issued either by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA):
<http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~ear/p-sea.html> or (in case of fish and other
aquatic animals) by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce: <http://www.noaa.gov/>. For
frozen fish import regulations and standards, please refer to UP 6011
GAIN Report at:
<http://www.fas.usda.gov/gainfiles/200605/146197842.pdf>, which
explicitly describes import requirements in Attachment I.

In case of a discrepancy between statements required by the Ukrainian
SDVM Order #71 and those made in the negotiated U.S.--Ukraine
Health/Veterinary Certificate, the official certificate will prevail.

**Radiological inspection of food products**

In order to protect consumers from internal exposure after the Chernobyl
accident in 1986, the GOU has rigidly controlled food contamination by
radionuclides. In 1997, the MHCU approved the state hygienic norms (so
called DR-97) which established the maximum allowable levels (MAL) for
the two most occurring radionuclides -- Cesium-137 (^137^Cs) and
Strontium-90 (^90^Sr). See Appendix XI for the list of MAL in different
food products.

## Samples shipped via express mail

Samples worth less than \$100 can be cleared duty-free according to the
Ukrainian legislation. The regulations do not distinguish product
samples from food products; therefore, samples shipped via express mail
could be subject to sanitary, veterinary, phytosanitary, radiological
and ecological inspection if the customs officer determines that such
control is necessary.

# SECTION VII. OTHER SPECIFIC STANDARDS 

## Pet Food and Feed Additives

According to Article 14 of the Law of Ukraine "On Veterinary Medicine"
pet food and feed additives assessment of the possibility and
advisability of pet food and feed additives' use in Ukraine shall be
conducted by the State Scientific and Control Institute of Veterinary
Drugs and Feed Additives (Appendix I).

The official document for pet food or feed additive registration in
Ukraine is the Registration Certificate. Purchase and utilization of pet
food and feed additives that are not registered in Ukraine are
prohibited. The Registration Certificate and the Quality Certificate
from the Manufacturer for a feed additive are mandatory documents to be
presented at the point of entry into Ukraine.

U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (USDA/APHIS) has published the veterinary certificate for pet
food exported to Ukraine at the following location:
<http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/ncie/iregs/products/pr_up_vcpf.pdf>. As a
reference, applicable regulations on pet food and feed additives
registration can be found on APHIS' web site:
<http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/ncie/iregs/products/pr_up_registration.pdf>.

A company, that files for registration will assume all costs associated
with the procedure. Experts from the State Scientific and Control
Institute of Veterinary Drugs and Feed Additives will establish a
separate registration procedure for every pet food or feed additive
sample. Field trials may be required for some products. The cost of
registration will be between \$600 and \$3,200 depending on the number
of tests and field trials. The cost will be lower if a group of similar
products is registered. Staff from the Institute claimed that the
procedure should not take longer than 90 days, but it depends on the
accuracy of documents and samples sent. Additional information
concerning registration of pet food and feed additives can be found on
the Institute's web site at <http://www.scivp.lviv.ua/>

If the product receives the approval of the Institute, the exporter will
receive a 5-year Registration Certificate. When the 5-year term expires,
the company will be required to renew the Certificate. In this case the
Institute will not ask for a product sample, but only for a set of
documents, and the procedure will be somewhat faster and cheaper.

## Seeds

Seed exporters should note that prior to importing seeds into Ukraine
for commercial release, each plant variety must be registered with the
General State Agricultural Inspection of Ukraine (GSAIU) that was
created in May of 2006. The inspection took over all functions of the
former State Service for Plant Varieties Rights Protection. The entire
registration process may take up to three years and cost the applicant
(variety owner, exporter or importer) \$5,000-\$10,000 depending on crop
type and extensiveness of field trials. This amount includes expenses
related to field trials and maintenance of the variety in the Register.
Currently only a few U.S. corn and sunflower hybrids are included in the
State Register.

Plant varieties that show consistently good performance usually receive
a temporary registration after the second year and can be marketed to
farmers. Seeds imported for field trials can enter Ukraine under a
single-time permit from the GSAIU. The MAPU can also issue single-time
permits for commercial seed imports that do not require plant variety
registration if it deems such imports as urgent and necessary.

At the time of a seed shipment, the exporter should plan for a 3-5 day
seed certification period in Ukraine. The State Seed Inspection Service
of the MAPU inspects imported seeds for compliance with the Ukrainian
state quality and purity standards even if a valid Orange International
Seed Lot Certificate accompanies the shipment.

For more information on import requirements and procedures, please read
Ukraine's Planting Seeds Report at:
<http://www.fas.usda.gov/gainfiles/200502/146118831.pdf> or visit the
English language site of the former State Service for Plant Varieties
Rights Protection at: <http://sops.gov.ua/index.en.htm>

## Special Food Products

Dietary, prophylactic food products and biologically active agents, baby
food and food for athletes are considered special food products in
Ukraine. The importer must register special food products with the
Ministry of Health Care of Ukraine prior to importing them into Ukraine.
After a positive verification of health claims and a food safety risk
assessment, the product will be included into the State Register of
Special Food Products of Ukraine.

# SECTION VIII. COPYRIGHT AND/OR TRADEMARK LAWS 

# 

Protection of intellectual property rights is weak in Ukraine. Piracy is
a common problem for domestic and foreign food suppliers with well-known
consumer brand names. Ukraine is a member of the World Intellectual
Property Organization, although, U.S. exporters may consider registering
their brand names in Ukraine. See Appendix I for contact information for
the State Committee of Ukraine on Intellectual Property (SCUIP), which
is the GOU's agency responsible for the protection of intellectual
property. Suppliers should work closely with their local distributors to
identify any case of piracy and report them to local law enforcement
agencies or to intellectual property rights inspectors of the SCUIP.

# SECTION IX. IMPORT PROCEDURES

Note: Information in this section is considered accurate at the time of
its publication. Exporters should confirm the exact import procedures
for individual products prior to shipment to their importers. There may
be specific import requirements for certain products that were not
mentioned in Section VII of this report (alcohol, tobacco, etc.)
Ukrainian is the only official language recognized in Ukraine. All
documents must be bilingual, submitted in Ukrainian or be accompanied by
an official translation. End note.

Exporters are advised at the planning stage to check with their
importer(s) to identify the types of controls that are applicable to the
product using Appendices X and XIII as a reference. Then, it is
necessary to make sure that all required inspection services are present
at the intended entry point into Ukraine (Appendix XII). The exporter
should choose another point of entry if all of the required inspection
services are not performed at a given entry point.

Any food product (except those produced for personal consumption), food
raw materials and agricultural products are prohibited entry into
Ukraine without documented evidence of their quality and safety. Control
over adherence to the procedure of food and agricultural product imports
rests with the Customs Service of Ukraine. The product will not be
granted final clearance until all legal procedures are met. The
following documentation is required for customs clearance:

1.  certificate of conformity;

2.  state sanitary and epidemiological expertise certificate, (or
    certificate on state registration of special food products);

3.  veterinary certificate (see Sections VI and VII and Appendices X and
    XIII for applicability);

4.  import permit and original phytosanitary certificate (see Sections
    VI and VII and Appendix X for applicability);

Labeling of food products and food raw materials must meet the
requirements of Ukrainian legislation outlined in Section II.

It is highly advisable to complete mandatory state sanitary and
epidemiological testing (#2 above) prior to shipping to Ukraine. The
Ukrainian importer can submit samples for testing to the Institute of
Ecohygiene and Toxicology under the Ministry of Health Care of Ukraine
or another institution authorized by the Ministry to obtain a
certificate of state sanitary and hygiene testing. All other
certificates could be processed at the same time, so it is possible to
complete the customs clearance process in 7 - 10 days including
additional required laboratory tests.
