Entry of products subject to mandatory certification in the territory of Ukraine is regulated by Governmental Decree No. 446 issued on May 14, 2008 No. 1211 which replaced the Governmental DecreeNo. 1211 issued on November 04, 1997.
UkrSEPRO is the national certification system including 149 certification bodies and 811 authorized test centers. It ensures the quality and safety ofproducts and services and the stability of production according to theUkrainian regulatory standards: GOST, Technical Conditions, etc. .
As an assurance of imported products quality Ukrainian buyers require sellers to provide mandatory certificate UkrSEPRO. Besides, the terms of payment are often rigidly linked to the presentation of the certificate UkrSEPRO, without preliminary check if the product is subject to compulsory certification in Ukraine. In case if obtaining certification UkrSEPRO is not authorized by the Ukrainian legislation, the absence of the certificate UkrSEPRO could cause unexpected changes of trade schedule.
To overcome these inappropriate effects, official notification from approved experts can be obtained before the export. This notice is materialized in exemption letter.
Thus the exemption letter is an official document which states that the product is not subject to mandatory certification in Ukraine.
