Ukrainian Customs You must declare all cash and jewelry upon entering
Ukraine; and undeclared items may be confiscated. Currency may
be exchanged only at legal, licensed booths, banks and hotel exchange
desks. You should save all receipts from currency exchanges and
from any purchases you make while in Ukraine. You may not take
more money out of the country than you brought in, unless you
have receipts showing that you received money from a credit card,
wire transfer or other means.
If your customs form is lost or stolen, report it to the local police, known as militia, and obtain a certificate to show authorities when departing Ukraine. If you cannot obtain a police certificate, come to the Consular Section of the US Embassy in Kyiv for a notarized letter of explanation. This letter is usually, but not always, accepted by customs authorities. If you purchase any items of value you must have the receipt when you leave Ukraine. In addition, if you purchase any antiques or items of possible historical value, such as icons, etc., you must obtain a certificate from the store that sold the item or from the Ministry of Culture stating that it has no real historical value.
