The market for bribes during customs clearance of cars in Ukraine can reach about 50 million dollars a year, according to the Ministry of Digital Transformation. In order to eliminate the corruption component, it is proposed to completely transfer the process to a digital format through the “Action” application.

The Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, announced the scale of corruption at the customs office, as reported Ministry of Finance.

According to him, the key reason for the existence of the “shadow” market is the human factor. That is why the first step should be to maximally eliminate customs officials from the process of determining the customs value of a car.

The second necessary step, the head of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, calls the adoption of a law that will allow full online car customs clearance — without contact with officials.

Car customs clearance through “Diya”.

As early as April 24, 2024, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine supported the first reading of draft law No. 10380, which provides for the customs clearance of cars through Diya.

Both individuals and legal entities, as well as their authorized representatives, will be able to use the new mechanism. At the same time, we are talking exclusively about passenger cars. Trucks, motorcycles, trailers and other vehicles will have to be registered according to the current procedure.

How will the value of the car be determined?

The key change should be the automatic assessment of the value of the car. It is from it that all customs payments are calculated – excise, VAT and duty. Diya already has a suitable calculator that takes into account the year of manufacture, the type of engine and its volume.

In China, the former head of the Huarong International investment company was executed for a $155 million bribe.

Law enforcement officers in Kyiv detained a top customs officer for a bribe.
