**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
assurance inherited from the Soviet Union. The system envisions controls
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, 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 and verify the latest import requirements with them 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 the provisions of WTO agreements 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, mycotoxins, antibiotics, hormones, pesticides and
microbiological limits) standards for each product category. The
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, the 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 the Ukrainian food safety law requirements are
allowed and can be affixed on a 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 the 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 the others prefer to attach labels
in the customs licensed warehouse in Ukraine.

The product's expiration date (or its shelf life indicated with the date
of production) must appear on the label. Although the 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 a 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. GMO labeling enforcement has been weak and FAS-Kiev has not
seen a single label referring to the 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 the 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
volumes of shipments from overseas, the exporters should be prepared to
ship mixed product loads in one container. It is required to have a
separate health certificate for each homogenous product lot in the
container. Odessa and Illichivsk Trade Sea port are by far the leading
ports in handling containerized cargoes in Ukraine and can accept
general-purpose container types. 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 or container
size.

In cases where U.S. legislation allows for reuse of packaging, all old
labels must be completely removed from the boxes in the container.
FAS-Kiev is aware of at least one case when double labeling caused
problems for the 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 the 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 an approval from the MHCU.

There are four food additives, which are not the list of approved
additives, but which have been cleared for use in imported products. The
Ukrainian sanitary authorities have conducted the food safety risk
assessment and have established the maximum allowed levels (MAL) to
monitor those in imported food products (Appendix VIII). The importers
of food products that contain non-registered food additives may seek
their registration with the MHCU. There has been no information
available on the MAL for the approved food additives since the GOU
discontinued publishing it 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
the 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, the 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
complexity of the Ukrainian food safety regulations, Post has prepared a
single table to illustrate the types of controls exercised on imported
products by Harmonized System (HS) 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
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 envisions cortication of 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.

Certification is conducted for compliance with the 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.

U.S. exporters can also refer to the Country Commercial Guide prepared
by the Foreign Commercial Service of 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.

The 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 will conduct 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 after the secondary
inspection.

## 

## Veterinary Inspection

Requirement for the products that are subject to state veterinary
surveillance and control are set up by the 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).
Prospected U.S. exporter should refer to the list even if the commodity
in question is not subject to veterinary control in the U.S. Ukrainian
state veterinarian at the border would 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 the most recent changes in the list.

Every shipment arriving in Ukraine will be inspected and sampled
regardless of the statements made in the accompanying health
certificate. Exporter or/and importer will have to bear the costs
associated with testing in the border lab or in the Central Laboratory
of the Veterinary Medicine in case of appeal. The testing cost will vary
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 good
impossible. In some cases Ukrainian veterinarians may examine a shipment
for compliance with the Ukrainian State Standards (GOSTs and DSTUs).

The list of products, allowed for export to Ukraine and falling under
provision of Food Safety Inspection Service can be found on the official
FSIS web page
[*http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OFO/export/ukraine.pdf*](http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OFO/export/ukraine.pdf)
The protocols for exporting animals to Ukraine are available through the
International Regulations Retrieval System (IRRS) of 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]{.underline}* or by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S.
Department of Commerce.

In case of a discrepancy between the statements required by the SDVM
Order #71 and those made in the officially negotiated U.S.--Ukraine
Health/Veterinarian 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 spread 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' utilization in Ukraine
shall be conducted by the State Scientific and Control Institute of
Veterinary Drugs and Feed Additives (Appendix I).

The official document evidencing 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 of
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 at APHIS' web site
(<http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/ncie/iregs/products/pr_up_registration.pdf>).
Onrequest, Post can provide interested U.S. exporters with an
application form for the registration of pet food and feed additive in
Ukraine.

A company, that files for registration will bear all the costs
associated with the procedure. Experts of 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 US \$600 and \$3200 depending on the number
of tests and field trials. The cost will be lower if a group of similar
products is registered. Staff in the Institute claimed that the
procedure should not take longer than 90 days, but it depends on the
completeness of documents and samples sent.

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 product sample, but for set of documents
only, 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
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 to 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 canbe marketed to
farmers. Seeds imported for field trials can enter Ukraine under a
single-time permit from the Service. 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.

The exporter should plan seed shipment allowing 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>

## 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 importing it into Ukraine.
After a positive verification of health claims and food safety risk
assessment, the product would 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 cases of piracy and report them to the 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 with 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.

The exporters are advised at the planning stage to check with their
importers what types of controls 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 point to
intended entry into Ukraine (Appendix XII). The exporter should choose
another point of entry if not all of the required inspection services
are performed at 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 the 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 unauthorized 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 with other
required laboratory tests.
