Receivables and payables management

Freight transport to Ukraine does not differ significantly from other transports to third countries, while of course maintaining its specifics resulting from local legislation or legal norms and trade rules between the EU and Ukraine.
After contacting edysea and providing the necessary input data, the client will receive a price calculation for transporting the shipment (whether transporting the shipment independently or by groupage service), and after accepting the offer, they can begin transport planning.
First and foremost, when transporting goods to/from third countries, it is necessary to have EORI number registration (www.eori.eu), which can be completed once and within minutes online. The next step is a contract with a customs declaration service provider (in case the client does not yet have one) – which will cover customs clearance of the shipment in export as well as comprehensive consulting in the field. edysea will select a suitable customs declarant for the client so that they are located at the closest possible distance from the planned loading location, and respectively along the route to the final destination, thus minimizing unnecessary vehicle trips.
Next, it is possible to proceed with the actual transport implementation, during which the client is informed daily about the shipment’s movement.
Attention: The main specificity of transport to Ukraine compared to other third countries is the generation of the so-called PP/PD code, without which a vehicle with goods cannot cross the border into the territory of Ukraine. (applies only to export to UA) This code, which is issued by the central customs office in Ukraine, is entirely the responsibility of the buyer – who reports the shipment at the customs office within Ukraine, and it will then generate a number with which the driver will prove at the border.

Generally, the required documentation includes a transport invoice, packing list, CMR consignment note, and in some cases specific permits or certificates depending on the type of goods. We always inform our clients in advance about any specific documentary requirements for transport to Ukraine.

Partial shipments via groupage line or as a co-load to Ukraine or from Ukraine is a standard service provided for our clients. The biggest advantage is, of course, cost savings for the client, who doesn’t have to pay for the entire capacity but only for the part being used. In general, the service is suitable for clients who don’t need to deliver their shipments JIT or via express.

On the other hand, the disadvantage of this type of shipment transport is a slightly longer delivery time, which depends on the groupage vehicle’s itinerary, and also the inability to plan shipment delivery for an exact date.

Transport of shipments in import from Ukraine is currently on the rise and forms a larger part than export for this destination at edysea. The main reason is the deteriorated economic situation in Ukraine, which means weaker purchasing power and thus lower export opportunities to UA. As for countries, edysea focuses mainly on transport from Ukraine to Slovakia, to the Czech Republic and Hungary. However, we would be happy to provide transport solutions from Ukraine to Germany, or Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and other Western European countries.
