A new digital mechanism for the import of humanitarian aid to Ukraine will be launched on December 1. UNN reports this with reference to the message of the Department of Communications of the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
Recipients will be able to submit a declaration online using the Automated Humanitarian Aid Registration System. At the same time, there will be a transitional period with the possibility of submitting a paper declaration until April 1 next year. The form and content of the declaration remain the same in both mechanisms.
The electronic system will create a transparent accounting of humanitarian aid, facilitate the procedure of its importation and distribution, and prevent abuse during the importation and use of humanitarian aid.
Letters of guarantee from the military, as well as requests for supplies and all other certificates, are canceled. Reporting is also simplified - now the report can be generated in a digital system based on declarations, and most of the data will be pulled up automatically.
How to import humanitarian aid from December 1? The same as before.
New digital way:
- Register or log in to the "Automated Humanitarian Aid Registration System"
- Fill out a declaration with a list of goods
- The system will provide a unique code to be reported during customs clearance
- Distribute the aid
- Report on the intended use online
Paper-based method:
- Fill out a paper declaration according to the rules in force from March 1, 2022.
- This method is available until April 1, 2024
