Personal belongings moved by citizens across the customs border of Ukraine in hand luggage, accompanied and unaccompanied baggage, are NOT subject to customs payments and are exempt from official control measures.

As a general rule, personal items are not declared in writing. However, if desired, a citizen can declare his personal belongings in writing. In addition, a written declaration must be submitted if requested by a customs official.

The list of goods that can be classified as personal belongings of citizens is given in Article 370 of the Customs Code of Ukraine.

The most common items on this list are listed below:

• personal hygiene products and individual cosmetics in the amount that meets the needs of one person for the duration of the trip;

• 0.5 liters of toilet water and/or 100 grams of perfume;

• clothes, underwear, shoes that are of a purely personal nature, intended exclusively for personal use and have signs of being used;
