As we all know, the war in Ukraine has made international trade in the region tricky. If you aren’t running export compliance screenings for all your international shipments, you certainly should be when exporting to Ukraine and other countries in the region.
But conducting export compliance screenings for shipments to Ukraine can be tricky. The United States has imposed embargoes on some parts of the country, but not all. If you are using our Shipping Solutions Trade Wizards or our Shipping Solutions export documentation and compliance software to run export controls and restricted party screenings, you need to include the proper Ukrainian state codes to generate accurate results.
Below is a chart showing the state codes. For example, if I want to run a screening for a company in Lviv, Ukraine, I need to enter the code 46 in the state code field. On Trade Wizards, the field is labeled State/Province, and in Shipping Solutions software the field is labeled State and is on the EZ Start-Contacts screen.
If you do not enter a state code, your results will show an export embargo on Ukraine even though only certain regions are embargoed.
