About doing business like as t shirt & others

You will need to get registered as a private entrepreneur or set up a company here. If you will be importing garments in Ukraine then you will also need to get registered with the customs office.

Importing garments will, with a high probability, require obtaining sanitary and quality certificates.

Other requirements depend on how you are going to sell your products: via the Internet or at some outlet.

Probably it depends on the amounts you are going to import and which age category.
If it is just for adults, it will be easier then for children.

If you keep the amounts small, you might be able to just send them and receive them without any problems.

If you get it completely official, you should also pay customs duties etc.

You can contact some transporting company (for example DHL), they usually know the details.

Yes, some textile (usually for children) requires certification and some does not. To know for sure it is necessary to know UKTZED codes for such goods or at least the Harmonized System codes.

Yes, it is possible to ship them in small quantities by mail to avoid of payment of customs duties and VAT. A parcel has to be valued less than a limit determined by the Customs Code of Ukraine.

It is better to use Ukrposhta (Ukrainian state post service) for such purposes. This is merely from my personal experience.

Hi & welcome!

To set up a company in Ukraine (LLC) you will need to pay (in general):
- company registration fee that is around USD 16;
- lawyer's fee around USD 200;
- office lease payment around USD 100 annually;
- translation of constituent documents of a foreign legal entity that is the incorporator (around USD per page);
- notarization fees (Power of Attorney - USD 20; company's charter - USD 15; translator's signature USD 5 per document);
- registratoin with the customs office - USD 150 (if the LLC will be an importer);
- accounting services - USD 160 per month;
- director's salary - USD 100 per month.

wow, there's a lot of things to be done, just to sell t-shirts lol ... i was gonna ask about apparel business in Ukraine but saw this thread already running ...

The question is only, if you need to do this with an LLC or if you can do it with an PE (Private Entrepreneur). The only problem is probably that you as foreigner can not be a PE.

The mentioned pricing looks quiet close to what I paid.
Directory salary, you should not pay too less. Else it looks too much like it is a 'paper' director.

"- office lease payment around USD 100 annually;"
I assume you mean with it virtual office lease.

Also what is good to look where you put you 'office'. Some districts are easier with taxes then others. For that you should ask advice of a bookkeeper.

If you compare it to setting up a business in another country, you will find simular or even higher costs.

There is a minimum salary limit in Ukraine but it is possible to legitimately pay below this limit. For doing this the director has to be hired not for a full 40 hour week but, lets say 5 hours per week.
Yes, USD 100 annually (every year) is for a "virtual" office. It is used mainly for the registration purpose.

Well.. A foreigner can be PE, but not easy.
"To take advantage of the Private Entrepreneur system you now need to have PR
After being married for two years you can then claim PR
Another option is to get married to your girlfriend, have a baby and then claim PR (as a father)"

And maybe also usefull:
"Please remember that here in Ukraine, tax laws change very quickly.
However the maximum turnover is now UAH 3m ($375,000 approx) per year and you would still only pay 5% tax if you are not a VAT payer. Yes, it's a good deal for Private Entrepreneurs. The BIG problems come when you start to employ people and start paying the the crazy 38% + Payroll taxes. Remember employees in Ukraine negotiate a NET salary, so tax is assumed to be down to the employer at all times (if taxes change it does not effect the employee....good system in Ukraine). So you need to calculate the payment of the 15% of employees salaries on top of the 38%. Confused?.......you should be..... this is Ukraine, everything is designed to be confusing"
