The total import of this category of goods amounted to 1.1 million tons for UAH 38.3 billion, which made oil products the main source of replenishment of customs payments - UAH 21.5 billion."That is, every fifth hryvnia of customs revenues is taxes paid upon import of oil products," the press service emphasized.About oil product imports
Recall that the drop in demand for fuel at the beginning of the year led to a reduction in the number of oil product importers. The most noticeable was the reduction in the number of diesel fuel importers. As of January 2025, only 132 companies imported it, compared to 242 importers a year ago and 399 companies in January 2023.Thanks to the spring warming, fuel demand in Ukraine increased by 20% compared to the winter period, and the decline in oil prices may become a prerequisite for reducing the cost of fuel at gas stations. However, it seems that gas station networks are not using this potential to the full, as they seek to increase margins to compensate for losses incurred in the winter.
