The Ministry of Digital Transformation is working on improving the draft law for the introduction of an online car customs clearance system in order to ensure a corruption-free process. This was announced by Mstislav Banik, head of electronic services development at the Ministry of Digital Transformation.
Banik indicated that the online car customs clearance service should be introduced during the current year, although the exact launch month is still difficult to determine due to the volume of work on the titanic reform that they are implementing together with the customs.
This electronic service is defined as an effective tool to combat the corruption that citizens often experience at customs. When using the "Actions" application, users will need to enter data about their car, such as the year of manufacture, make, model and engine capacity, as well as "certain additional criteria that are unchanged." The system will automatically calculate the cost of customs clearance, and the money can be paid online.
Banik emphasized that this innovative approach will simplify the customs clearance process, eliminate opportunities for corruption at this stage, and automate the transfer of information to relevant state authorities. He also noted that the initiative is ready for quick launch after the adoption of the relevant draft law by the Verkhovna Rada.
