The government allowed the fumigation of cargo outside the customs zone of Ukraine

The Cabinet of Ministers allowed the fumigation of cargo at the request of the importing country, both within and outside the territory of Ukraine.

The resolution was adopted to ensure the implementation of the Initiative on the Safe Transportation of Grain and Food Products from Ukrainian ports, reports the press service of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.

As part of the implementation of the said Initiative, new barriers arose, including the need to speed up the passage of cargo through the sea “grain corridor”. Therefore, the government decided to optimize fumigation at the request of partner countries in international trade.

“The resolution will create conditions that will facilitate the uninterrupted export of agricultural products of plant origin by sea from the Ukrainian sea trade ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi,” the ministry added.
