Nova Post, part of the Nova Group, has entered the Canadian market, bringing the total number of countries where it operates to 18, according to a company statement released on Wednesday.
“Canada, like all of North America, is one of the key directions for Nova Post’s international expansion,” Oleksiy Taranenko, CBDO of the NOVA Group, is quoted as saying in the release.
According to him, the company has already processed over 3,000 shipments, most of which consisted of goods from Ukrainian manufacturers.
The next steps are expected to include further network expansion, the introduction of a franchise program, the launch of new products, and faster delivery times.
Nova Post clarified that customers can arrange international shipments from Canada online via the company’s website or mobile app, as well as drop off a package at one of 1,100 partner UPS stores or hand it over to a courier.
It is noted that delivery time between Canada and Ukraine starts at 5 days. Shipping costs from Canada to Ukraine are CAD 37 for documents and packages up to 1 kg; CAD 47 for packages up to 2 kg; CAD 99 for packages up to 10 kg; and CAD 215 for packages up to 30 kg.
Nova Post reminded customers that it is possible to ship goods from Ukraine to Canada without paying import duties. This service is made possible by the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA).
Specifically, for most shipments, only the harmonized sales tax (HST) is payable, which the sender can pay when arranging delivery; however, no tax applies to packages valued at up to 20 CAD (625 UAH).
As reported in early August, Nova Post has opened 266 new service locations since the beginning of 2026, thereby expanding its presence to 16 countries and 235 cities.
The largest number of new service points were opened in Moldova—155—followed by Poland—63—Spain—18—the Czech Republic—14—Germany—11—Slovakia—2—and one service point each in Austria, Italy, and Romania.
Vyacheslav Klimov, co-owner of Nova Poshta, noted during the “Dialogues with NV” event dedicated to European integration that Nova Post Europe, part of the NOVA Group, plans to double its network of branches in Europe by 2026 and keep its strategic focus on ensuring the fastest possible delivery times.
The national postal operator, JSC “Ukrposhta,” is joining the updated government service “Marriage Online 2.0,” through which it will provide international delivery of marriage certificates to Ukrainians in three phases to 48 countries in Europe and around the world, the company announced on Monday.
“In collaboration with the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the designated postal operator will provide international delivery of marriage certificates to Ukrainians abroad,” reads the Ukrposhta press release.
It is noted that this project is a pilot initiative for the national postal operator. Consequently, the conditions for further expansion will be determined based on the results of its implementation.
It is expected that the list of destinations, delivery times, and costs will be announced with each launch.
“With the launch of international delivery, the entire process—from submitting an application and conducting a video ceremony to receiving the final document—will be as convenient as possible, regardless of the country where the couple is located,” the company explains.
Ukrposhta added that the “Marriage Online 2.0” service has been operating in Ukraine for two years. In 2026, 40% of all marriages were registered electronically.
Separately, the national postal operator reported that it handles mail exchanges with 230 countries and territories worldwide.

It is from here that we handle the sorting, customs clearance, and processing of international shipments,” said Andriy Artemenko, CEO of Nova Post in the Czech Republic, as quoted in the press release.

The national postal operator, JSC “Ukrposhta,” has launched an integration with Etsy, one of the world’s largest marketplaces, which will allow customers to process international shipments without duplicating data, the company’s CEO, Ihor Smiliansky, announced on Wednesday.
“Starting today, Ukrposhta has launched integration with Etsy, where more than 1.7 million Ukrainian handmade goods, craft items, works of art, and vintage products are sold,” Smiliansky wrote on his Telegram channel.
According to him, Ukrainian sellers will be able to automatically import orders from Etsy, process international shipments without re-entering data, and automatically send tracking numbers once a shipment is created.
Among other features, the integration will allow sellers to print shipping labels directly from their personal account, pay for shipping online, take advantage of cumulative discounts on international shipments, and return shipments free of charge if they are undeliverable.
Users will be able to set up the integration in their Ukrposhta account by syncing it with their Etsy shop, which will then allow new orders to be imported automatically.
“After that, all that’s left is to process and pay for the shipment online, print the shipping label (or provide the tracking number at a post office), and hand the package over to Ukrposhta, which will deliver it to any of the 230 countries and territories around the world,” noted the CEO of the national postal operator.
Separately, Smiliansky clarified that the company is developing a program for VIP exporters, allowing them to send shipments from anywhere in a confidential manner and use a courier service.
As reported in late June, “Ukrposhta” signed an agreement with Etsy, thereby becoming its official partner.
Ukrposhta noted that the national postal operator will handle all customs duty payments (in the U.S. and the EU).
Etsy is an international marketplace specializing in the sale of handmade items, vintage goods, jewelry, and other products.
