At the beginning of June 2026, the PENTADA team participated in the specialized professional seminar "Customs Authorizations and Their Practical Application. Updates in Customs Legislation. Compensation for Damages Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation Against Ukraine," held in Odesa.

A Professional Platform for Dialogue Between Business and Government

The seminar brought together a diverse group of professionals, including company executives, customs brokers, international trade experts, representatives of customs authorities, and legal specialists. This broad representation created an excellent environment for in-depth discussions of the industry's current challenges and facilitated the exchange of practical experience among all stakeholders involved in foreign trade operations.

The event focused on issues that directly impact businesses operating in today's evolving regulatory environment, including:

  • the practical application of customs authorizations under current conditions;
  • the latest updates to Ukraine's customs legislation;
  • approaches to determining the customs value of goods;
  • product classification in accordance with customs regulations;
  • mechanisms for protecting business interests when interacting with government authorities;
  • compensation for damages resulting from the armed aggression against Ukraine.

The Value of Participation for PENTADA

For the PENTADA team, participating in professional events like this is an essential part of continuously strengthening expertise and improving the quality of services in customs clearance and international trade. Keeping up with legislative developments enables the company to respond promptly to regulatory changes, adapt to evolving market requirements, and maintain the highest standards of professional competence.

Equally valuable was the opportunity for direct communication with business representatives and industry experts. Through panel discussions and networking sessions, participants examined real-world cases from international trade practice and explored effective approaches to solving them. These interactions help establish new partnerships and inspire innovative business solutions.

Supporting the Development of Ukraine's Customs Sector

Throughout the seminar, participants emphasized the important role that professional events play in advancing Ukraine's customs system. Such initiatives contribute to raising the professional qualifications of specialists, improving the practical implementation of customs legislation, and strengthening cooperation between public authorities and the business community.

The speakers also highlighted that exchanging practical experience among industry professionals and experts contributes to building a more transparent, efficient, and predictable environment for international trade and foreign economic activity.
