How to sell goods to Ukraine

You can sell any product to almost any country in the world at online auctions. Including to Ukraine, which still does not have a clear legal framework for trade with Russia.

Instruction manual

1

Go to any of the famous online auctions (for example, on eBay). Choose which product you want to sell to this country. Check out the list of goods prohibited for sale, both in the Russian Federation and abroad.

2

If the name of your product is not contained in this list, register at the auction. The registration process takes place in several stages. You will need electronic copies of your passport and TIN in order to complete registration at some of the auctions. The system will check your documents, after which you will receive a login and password to enter the system.

3

After you log into the system, you will be taken to the “Personal Account”, in which you can later monitor the trading process. Please note: any online auction will charge a small commission for each lot sold.

4

If advertising is permitted by auction rules, post it on the site. To do this, photograph the product so that it as quickly as possible attracts the attention of potential buyers. The name of the lot must correspond to the name of the product that you want to sell. Describe it in detail (type, weight, size, etc.).

5

Indicate in the lot description as many payment methods as possible (bank transfers, electronic money, postal transfers). Specify several methods of delivery of goods (including postal service, delivery service, etc.). If you wrote that one of the delivery methods is delivery by courier (private company), be sure to ask before that if the courier has an agreement with the customs services of Russia and Ukraine on the transport of goods.

6

Of course, you can use the traditional methods of selling goods by posting, for example, advertisements for its sale in Ukrainian newspapers or Internet portals and concluding agreements with customers directly in Ukraine. But if your product is at least of some value or you are not going to trade with Ukraine all the time (due to discounts that regular customers from this country will surely ask you for), then it is best to use online auctions.
