- EC Decision on Exemptions: The European Commission, responding to requests from Poland and Lithuania, extended exemptions from customs duties and VAT on goods imported for free distribution to those affected by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, covering imports from third countries throughout 2025.
- Beneficiaries: The exemptions apply to state organizations, public authorities, and eligible non-profit organizations that import humanitarian goods from outside the EU for distribution to Ukrainian refugees and those in need within Ukraine.
- Continued Support: This decision maintains the previous exemptions, enabling humanitarian aid to be delivered without customs or VAT costs, supporting both Ukrainian state organizations and approved humanitarian groups.
