Export is a concept used in international trade when selling goods/services to another country. That is, it is a customs regime under which the goods are exported outside the customs territory. Exported goods are registered without the obligation of return.
If goods are subject to export, they must be exported outside the customs territory in the same condition as they were on the day of acceptance of the customs declaration, except for changes in the condition of goods due to natural wear and tear or loss under normal conditions of transportation and storage.
According to the tax legislation, goods during export shall be exempt from taxes, except for export duties and excise duties, or the paid amounts of taxes are subject to refund. When exporting goods outside Ukraine, the customs authority shall be provided with the relevant documents certifying the grounds and conditions of export, payment of taxes and duties imposed on the export of goods, as well as compliance with the requirements of the law.
