(i) Import licence issued by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine is 
required.  Licences are issued on the approval of the State Agency on Material Reserve of 
Ukraine and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.  The approvals of both 
the authorities should be received by the appl icants before applying for licences.  Submitting 
the certificate of origin of goods (or its copy) is  not required for obtaining an import licence. 
(ii) A total quota of  267,800 tonn es will be allocat ed as follows: 
- 260 tonnes - to any subject of fore ign economic activities from Paraguay; 
- as of 1 January 2011, the rest of the tariff ra te quota for raw cane sugar will be allocated 
by the first-come, first-served method. 
(iii) Licences are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. 
(iv) The term of the validity of the import licence is  90 days from the date of  its signing, but shall 
be valid only until 31 December of the year for which it has been issued, within the amount 
of tariff rate quota.  In the case of exha usting the set quota, acceptance of requests for 
delivery of licences is halted.  Licences are not transferable. 
 In case of the increase of the value of imports (indicated in boxes 8 and 9 of the licence), the 
licence holder would be required to apply fo r a new licence. Reducing of the value of 
imports does not require a new licence. 
 Changing the country of origin (indicated in  box 13 of the licence) does not require a new 
licence. Only the licence holder with a specific country-alloc ation (like Paraguay) would 
need to respect the country of origin. 
 In the period not later than 15 days after the date of import licence validity expiring, the 
subjects of foreign economic  activity should s ubmit to the Ministry of Economic
