In June 2022, an agreement on road freight transport was signed between Ukraine and the European Union. This agreement, also known as the transport visa-free agreement, eliminates the need for permits to transport goods by road through EU territory. It has allowed Ukrainian carriers to significantly simplify and expedite freight transport to Europe.

The extension of this agreement until June 2025 is an important step in supporting international trade, as it allows the transportation of goods abroad without additional administrative barriers. Lifting these restrictions promotes the growth of Ukrainian exports, and the delivery of goods from Europe becomes much simpler.

Key Benefits of the Road Freight Transport Agreement (Transport Visa-Free Agreement)

The transport visa-free agreement opens new opportunities for Ukrainian carriers. The agreement removes the requirements for obtaining permits to carry out international freight transport, greatly simplifying access to European markets.

Among other benefits for Ukrainian carriers, the agreement offers:

списокAvoidance of border delays.
списокSavings on logistics costs.
списокPromotion of Ukrainian goods in the international market.

The transport visa-free agreement is regulated by international freight transport rules, which define licensing requirements and control the safety of transport operations.

What Are the New Regulations Regarding Road Freight Transport?

New requirements have been added to the agreement that regulate freight transport by road between Ukraine and the EU:

  1. Carriers must have documents proving their license.
  2. Freight documents must be present even for empty vehicles.
  3. Trucks must be labeled in accordance with international standards.
  4. Sanctions will be introduced for carriers who violate international freight transport rules.
  5. A special task force will be established to assess the effectiveness of the "transport visa-free agreement."
  6. The agreement can be temporarily suspended in case of violations.
  7. All countries are obligated to take maximum measures to prevent border blockages.
