Find your country's enquiry point on WTO ePing (opens in a new tab)The draft Resolution has been developed to align the Procedure for issuing permits for the import into, export from or transit through the territory of Ukraine of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 146 of 3 February 1997, with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine 'On Administrative Procedure' and the Law of Ukraine No. 4017-IX of 10 October 2024 'On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Following the Adoption of the Law of Ukraine 'On Administrative Procedure'. The draft Resolution aims to simplify the procedure for the submission of documents by business operators engaged in the import and export of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors in the form of medicines, in order to address the issue arising from the inability of such entities to provide a batch quality certificate for medicines that are only planned for future importation and may still be at the manufacturing stage. In addition, the form of the permit for the transit of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors through the territory of Ukraine is aligned with the forms of the permits for their import and export.
