The government simplified the import of components for ammunition production.

The government has simplified the procedure for importing explosives and components to the BPs for manufacturers without state contracts, reported the Ministry of Strategic Industries.According to the department, the adopted changes improved and simplified the procedure for importing explosives, means of initiation, products and devices containing explosives for manufacturers without valid state contracts.

Simplified import procedure for manufacturers without state contracts

The algorithm of actions is as follows. The enterprise planning to import the above-mentioned goods must be included in the Electronic Register of selection and performers of state contracts. The first step is to submit an application to the Ministry of Strategic Industries. It should contain the following information:- full and abbreviated name of the manufacturer, code according to the EDRPOU, its location;- name of the explosive material and explosive substance, code according to the UKTZED;- quantity of explosive material and explosive substance planned for import;- information about the supplier (full and abbreviated name of the legal entity, country of registration, location).Within five days of receiving the application, the ministry employees check whether the enterprise corresponds to the goals of the experimental project and whether it is indeed included in the registry. In case of a positive conclusion, the Ministry of Strategic Industries provides confirmation to the State Export Control Service of Ukraine, which, based on processing the received materials, either grants or denies a one-Time import permit to the economic entity.

'Ukrainian legislation continues to adapt to the conditions of martial law and simplify bureaucratic procedures for manufacturers of military equipment. The mentioned changes allow for accelerating the import of explosives and other critical components. Given the global shortage of these goods, speeding up their supply to Ukraine is a significant reinforcement of ammunition production. Thank you to the government for supporting the Ukrainian manufacturer and for understanding the production needs,' said the Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, Herman Smetanin.

These changes reflect the Ukrainian government's desire to promote the development of domestic manufacturers and support the country's defense industry. Faster and simplified procedures for importing explosives will help strengthen ammunition production and ensure Ukraine's economic security.
