The Government of Canada has extended for the next 12 months the regulation that provides for the abolition of customs duties on the import of Ukrainian goods
First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko stressed that the extension of the preferential regime for the import of Ukrainian goods will help strengthen Ukrainian exports, preserve jobs and generally strengthen the economy in wartime.
Ukrainian goods will continue to have duty-free access to the Canadian market until June 9, 2026.
Since the introduction of the preferential regime in 2022, Ukrainian exports under this program to Canada have already reached more than $35 million, and Canadian importers have saved $8.5 million in duties.
