EU4PFM provided Ukrainian customs with 120 barcode readers to ensure rapid registration of international postal and express shipments

European partners continue to provide the State Customs Service with the equipment necessary to improve its work and integrate it into the European customs space as soon as possible. This time, EU4PFM provided Ukrainian customs with 120 modern barcode readers to ensure the registration of international postal and express shipments. The scanners will be integrated into the Customs IT system and will be used by employees of international postal exchanges.

“The use of modern barcode readers to ensure the registration of international postal and express shipments will give positive results. This is a significant saving of time and effort and approximation to European standards of customs practices. Therefore, we continue and will continue to contribute to the provision of Ukrainian customs with such equipment,” commented Vytenis Alisauskas, EU4PFM Key International Expert on customs.

Last year EU4PFM provided the State Customs Service with more than 200 modern barcode readers for reading data from customs declarations. The equipment was necessary for the start of the “customs visa-free” operation, because in accordance with the Convention on a common transit procedure, that Ukraine has joined, customs declarations must contain a bar code, with the help of which it is possible to quickly find the declaration in the system.
