Frequently asked questions

Answers to frequently asked questions

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about legal services in the field of foreign economic activity

What documents are required to start cooperation?: To start cooperation,I reccomend you to get an oral consultation, which can last from 15 to 30 minutes. After you have paid for the consultation, we will contact you at the most convenient time for you. During the oral consultation, we will find out what kind of service the client needs, and, depending on this, I will draw up a list of necessary documents to be provided. Later, we conclude a Legal Services Agreement and continue our cooperation. For example, when it comes to drafting an export contract, i will need to check the counterparty to the contract and the powers of the party that will sign the contract on behalf of the company (power of attorney, charter) and discuss all the essential terms of the contract (parties to the contract, subject matter, price, delivery terms, delivery date, inspection of the goods by the Buyer, terms of transfer of ownership of the goods, payment terms, etc.), as well as the choice of the INCOTERMS rule that will be most suitable for your interests as an Exporter or Importer.
How much do legal services for support of foreign economic transactions cost?: The cost of services depends on the complexity of the case, amount of work and the deadline for execution. For example, an oral consultation on concluding of a foreign economic contract costs UAH 1,000 per hour, a written consultation costs UAH 4,000, and drafting of a foreign economic contract costs from UAH 2,000 per page. Discounts are available for regular customers and when ordering package services.
What are the INCOTERMS rules and why are they so important for concluding a foreign trade contract?: The INCOTERMS 2020 rules are standard international "trade terms" that are intended primarily for international trade. The INCOTERMS rules are, in fact, a key element of international sales contracts (agreements), as they define what the parties must do for: transportation of the goods from the seller to the buyer and to carry out export, import and safety inspection formalities. The INCOTERMS rules also explain the distribution of costs and risks between the parties. It is important to understand that the wrong choice of Incoterms in a foreign economic contract can lead to very negative consequences. For example, the choice of a certain term in terms of saving money on transportation and logistician's recommendations may result in assuming high risks of loss and damage to the goods by the Seller- exporter that it could avoid, and it may also result in the need to compensate the Buyer-importer for losses and provision of substitute goods to the Buyer- importer. Sometimes, the incorrect choice of the INCOTERMS term may lead to the exporter's inability to fulfil the terms of the contract and, consequently, to liability under the foreign economic contract. For example, this is the choice of a term that provides for the delivery of goods to the place of destination and the seller's obligations to make a customs clearance of them in the country of import, as well as to pay VAT. Sometimes, the incorrect choice of trade terms depending on the type of goods being transported affects the inability to control the transfer of the risk of accidental loss or damage to the goods for the Seller. For example, when Incoterms are used for the carriage of bulk goods, which are intended for containerised transportation. An incorrect reference to the Incoterms rules in a foreign economic contract may generally result in difficulties during the arbitration consideration of a dispute and the fact that the arbitral award may not be made in your favour. I will be happy to help you choose the right rule depending on your specific situation and needs!
What is the ICAC at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry?: The ICAC at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry) is the leading arbitration institution in Ukraine that considers and resolves commercial disputes (including international ones) between enterprises and organisations. It is an alternative way of resolving disputes by agreement of the parties by independent arbitrators, which avoids recourse to state courts.
Why is it better to apply to the ICAC at the Ukrainian CCI to resolve a dispute rather than to the state courts?: Resolving disputes by applying to the state courts is usually the slowest, most expensive and most conflictive among the various dispute resolution options. Experienced lawyers often try to avoid the possibility of legal actions by negotiating arbitration or alternative dispute resolution clauses in their contracts. Taking to account the disadvantages of litigation, it may seem surprising that some businessmen and lawyers resort to litigation as the primary means of resolving commercial disputes, even minor ones. This can often be attributed to a lack of knowledge (e.g., unfamiliarity with procedures such as international commercial arbitration or the practical utility of renegotiation clauses). In an international context, arbitration is often more efficient than litigation in terms of enforcement, as arbitral awards are supported by the UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (known as the 1958 New York Convention) and other regional conventions on the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards. Arbitral awards are generally final, whereas court decisions may be appealed to higher courts. The finality of arbitration means that the dispute resolution process less disturbs the business and is usually cheaper as the dispute is resolved after one hearing. The International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (the ICAC) is one of the most respected institutions in Central and Eastern Europe. Since its foundation, the ICAC has heard more than 11,000 cases, accepting an average of 300 to 600 cases annually. The parties to the cases usually come from 50-55 countries. The ICAC arbitration proceedings meet the best international standards, and the institution's awards are successfully enforced in 110 countries. Therefore, in the event of a dispute, I recommend applying to it.
What risks can you face when conducting foreign economic activity?: Although risk is a factor in all business transactions, international trade involves additional risks: goods must be transported over long distances, pass through customs barriers, and payment for goods is often made in foreign currency. Contracts must be agreed upon, despite language and cultural barriers and are often enforceable in different legal conditions. Exporters and importers may often face risks related to transportation. International transportations involve long distances, and cargos are are often passed from hand to hand or stored for long periods of time, so there is a much greater risk of damage, loss or theft than in domestic trade. As it may be difficult for exporters to verify the solvency of foreign buyers, there is an increased risk of non-payment for goods, late payments or outright fraud. It may be physically difficult for importers to inspect the quality of goods prior to shipment, and they may not receive goods of the quality they expected. Sometimes, counterparties may breach contracts, for example, by delaying payment or delivery, or unilaterally changing the terms and conditions, which can cause problems. There may also arise risks associated with currency fluctuations, changes in customs legislation and other regulation acts that may affect the transaction. As a lawyer with practical experience in foreign trade, I will help you identify these risks and minimise their consequences by properly drafting contracts and supporting your business.
What documents are required for customs clearance of imports?: A standard package of documents is usually required for customs clearance of imports, including: foreign economic contract, invoice, packing list, transport documents (e.g. bill of lading or air waybill etc., depending on the kind transport which is used for transportation of goods), certificates of quality and origin, customs declaration. In addition, other documents may be required in accordance with the specifics of the goods, the requirements of the country of import or customs authorities. I understand that the clearance process can be complicated. To ensure that all documents are correct and to avoid possible delays or penalties, you can contact me with specific questions. I can help you understand the requirements, provide additional information and suggest the next steps in your situation. Contact me if you need help!
