Ukraine: Ukraine Imposed Transshipment Restrictions due to COVID-19

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In an attempt to prevent COVID-19 coronavirus spread, Ukraine imposed severe travel restrictions for people and closed a number of border crossing points. These new travel restrictions do not cover truck drivers and vessels crews who will be able to continue to enter Ukraine after medical examinations. In addition, all major Ukrainian seaports will continue operations. Some inland shipments may experience delays as all trade flow will be diverted to the few crossing points that remain open. While imports of agricultural commodities are not expected to be impacted, Ukraine may restrict exports of certain food products. The list of such products is not yet known and is being developed by the Cabinet of Ministers.
