Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s leading express delivery service from the Nova Group, has updated its delivery rules to the US due to Washington’s cancellation of the $800 duty-free threshold: the cost of delivery has increased by at least 10% due to the duty applied to goods from Ukraine.
According to a press release from Nova Poshta on Wednesday, if the sender is the payer, customs clearance services are included in the tariff, while if the recipient is the payer, they will have to pay, in addition to 10% of the cost of the shipment, customs brokerage services starting at $25 per shipment upon receipt.
It is noted that the recipient will be sent an email with a link to pay the customs duty and customs brokerage services. Delivery of the shipment will be carried out after payment, and the final amount of customs duty and customs brokerage services will be determined during customs clearance upon delivery in the United States.
The company emphasized that it is important to correctly indicate the country of origin of the goods in the shipment. The 10% duty rate applies only to goods produced in Ukraine. Rates may vary for goods from other countries.
It is also indicated that a technical solution has been developed for Nova Post API users to select the payer of customs duties for the United States.
On the eve of the announcement, Ihor Smelyansky, CEO of Ukrposhta, Nova Poshta’s main competitor, said that his company would also continue commercial mail deliveries to the US after the country introduced a 10% duty on shipments worth up to $800, and delivery rates to the US will increase by an average of $1.5-3.
According to the CEO of Ukrposhta, Ukrainian senders will have an advantage over competitors from most other countries, as the rate for Ukraine is the lowest at 10%, while for EU countries it is 15% and for Switzerland 39%. In addition, most European countries are pausing shipments to the US until the 10% duty collection procedure is settled.
