Required documents for delivery to Ukraine

Delivery abroad is a complex process that requires a large number of documents. This is a process that takes a lot of time and can be confusing. TRT Express automatically generates the necessary documents for your shipment based on the information you provide. This makes the process quick and easy for you.

Customs Clearance

If your package is held by customs for inspection, you will need to provide the following documents:

  • Invoice – a document that accompanies goods moved across the customs border in a parcel, indicates their value and allows them to be identified.
  • Bank statement confirming payment.
  • A customs inspector may require a copy of the recipient’s passport.

If one or more shipments are received in the name of the recipient, the total value of goods in which exceeds the amount equivalent to country’s de minimis value, taxes on imported goods will be charged.

Customs Declaration

Customs authorities require a complete and accurate description of goods. When detailing the goods in the customs declaration, it is necessary to describe:

  • What is this product?
  • What is the product made of?
  • What is the purpose of the product? (example – gift)

For example: Parts, Gifts, Textiles or Samples – these descriptions are too vague and cannot be accepted.

Correct description – T-shirts for women made of cotton, 2 pcs.

Lithium batteries

Lithium batteries are considered dangerous goods. Therefore, it is very important that lithium batteries are properly labeled.

Allowed:

  • Devices containing no more than two batteries, or four power cells are accepted for air transportation.

Prohibited:

  • TRT Express does not except packages containing lithium batteries that are defective, damaged, or recalled for air transportation.
  • If a laptop, cell phone, or other device is known or suspected to have a damaged lithium battery, it should be removed.

Transportation of personal and commercial parcels from the United States is one of TRT Express’s services. We provide logistics and customs support, offering several shipping methods. We deliver to Ukraine from the United States in compliance with current legislation, eliminating fines and import issues. Customers enjoy transparent and flexible terms and conditions, with a variety of rates to choose from.

Parcel Delivery Time from the United States

The arrival time of your shipment depends on the chosen shipping method. Parcels can be sent to Ukraine using the following methods:

  • Standard. Delivery takes 15-21 days;
  • Economy. This is the cheapest, but also the longest, delivery time: 4-7 weeks;
  • Express delivery from the United States to Ukraine – Completed within a few days (usually 7-14).

It’s important to understand that prices vary for different shipping methods. The size of the shipment also influences the choice of a specific rate.

Weight and Size Limits for Parcels to Ukraine

Many carriers have size limits. These must be adhered to to ensure smooth delivery of parcels. These limits are influenced by the chosen shipping method. Standard limits for air freight are up to 30 kg and up to 300 cm in total. The exact limits are listed on the website.

There are no strict restrictions for shipping cargo from the USA to Ukraine by sea. This shipping option is suitable for large consignments, oversized, and heavy parcels. It’s important to understand that the size of the shipment affects the cost of the service.

Price of Freight Shipping from the USA

The cost of logistics services is a flexible concept. It depends on a number of factors:

  • delivery type: express is the most expensive, while economy is the cheapest;
  • parcel dimensions;
  • additional services: insurance, repackaging, etc.

The transportation method also affects the price. Air travel is more expensive, but if you’re looking for cheap shipping from the United States, sea shipping is a good option. Another factor that affects transportation costs is the packaging type. Packing your parcel more compactly will reduce its size, resulting in a lower price. However, it’s important to follow basic recommendations.

How to pack a parcel for delivery to Ukraine from the USA

During transportation, cargo can be damaged. However, this can be reduced by proper packaging. Here are a few recommendations:

  • Use boxes made of durable corrugated cardboard;
  • If you’re shipping spare parts to Ukraine from the USA, wrap each part in cardboard or soft material to prevent friction and impact;
  • Fill any empty spaces inside with foam, paper, or bubble wrap for cushioning and securing the contents.

You can also order packaging for goods from the USA to Ukraine from us. This is one of the additional services offered by TRT Express. Warehouse staff will select boxes and compactly pack the goods to minimize dimensions, thereby reducing shipping costs.
