Upload documents to your web account for delayed parcels, a link to which will be sent in an SMS message to the specified mobile phone number of the parcel recipient.

The working hours of the Customs Service – are 8:00 to 17:00 from Monday to Friday.
Information and documents that cannot be verified will not be taken into account by Customs.
On average, it takes about 14 days from the time a parcel arrives at IMPO and is sent out of customs.
First, a report is drawn up at customs, listing the contents of the parcel. This procedure takes from 7 to 10 working days. After the act has already been drawn up, the recipient of the parcel is sent an SMS message to the specified mobile phone number with a link to the personal Web account of delayed parcels, where documents must be sent for consideration by the customs service of Ukraine.
Unfortunately, Meest China does not influence the time a parcel stays at customs or the speed of checking the contents of parcels and documents. Decisions are made in the order in which parcels are delayed!
If the customer cannot confirm the value of the parcel, the customs inspectors determine the value themselves.
Customs takes prices from its database or the prices of the sending country for similar goods.
If a parcel contains several items with a value exceeding 150€, the best solution is to divide these items into several parcels and send the parcels in such a time interval that they arrive at customs on different days of the week.
If the value of the shipment exceeds the equivalent of 150€, you will have to pay 20% VAT. In addition, such parcels will be subject to a 10% duty on the amount exceeding the equivalent of 150€.
Examples of calculation of customs from 3 May 2022:
Value of goods 200€
Duty: (200 – 150) x 10% = 5€
VAT (200 – 150 + 5€) x 20% = 11€
Customs duties: 16€
The parcel arrives at the IMPO in Lviv, the customs office delays it, and you receive sms-notifications;
Within 3 working days, a message will be sent to the recipient’s mobile phone number with a list of documents to be submitted to customs;
Within 7-10 working days, customs will make an inventory of the parcel’s contents. After that, the documents submitted by the recipient will be reviewed. Next, the recipient will receive an SMS notification with the decision of customs on the amount of duty and details for payment;
After payment, the customs will deliver the parcel to Ukraine within 2-4 working days.
We urge you to register all shipments responsibly – with an understanding of all customs clearance processes and deadlines.

Indicate the actual danger status of the item – simple, containing liquids and batteries. Record whether the parcel contains goods of well-known brands.
