About Ukraine

Located in Eastern Europe, Ukraine primarily speaks Ukrainian. The country's economy is well known for its vast agricultural production, heavy industrial manufacturing, and expanding technology sector.

The spirits market

Alcohol is legal in Ukraine, though frontline zones enforce dry-area bans and regional military administrations restrict sales hours. Importers accredited with Customs must hold a wholesale license from the State Tax Service to distribute spirits to retailers. Local facilities primarily produce vodka, brandy, cognac, and fruit distillates. With a 0% preferential customs duty, despite a 20% VAT and an excise tax of UAH 133.31 per litre of pure alcohol, clear opportunities exist for exporters of premium whisky, gin, and rum.
