Recently, the customs is increasingly being contacted by subjects of foreign economic activity, which move across the customs borders of Ukraine with design documentation, design and advertising projects, the results of processing information that is recorded on CDs or other media. This is a special commodity that by the volume can be quite small, but the cost of such products is stated in several thousands or even millions of dollars.

In order to prevent infringement of intellectual property rights during import or export of intellectual property, for the owner of such objects it is very important to control the movement of them through the customs border of Ukraine.


Control over movement of goods, which contain intellectual property, is entitled to the State Customs Service of Ukraine, provided that the goods are listed in the registry.

To establish control you must submit to the State Customs Service statement of the prescribed form on introducing intellectual propertyobject to the registry. The application must contain detailed information about a product, which includes intellectual property objects and about its owner. This information is entered into a computer database of the State Customs Service, register of goods is compiled. All Customs offices have access to this information to identify products that are imported or exported with registered in the database products that contain intellectual property objects, and thus to distinguish counterfeit products from registered.
