Author Post Cycleserg Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/11/2005 2:49:23 AM   Red line / Green Line holly cow you guys are giving me a headache! I went to the red line all set to get a cavity search for the stuff I was bringing in. I had a $300 heart pendant and odd gifts for her family. Total about $500 worth of stuff. I had $1500 dollars spread out in different pockets. I get to the bored customs lady and she asked me what was in 1 of my 3 suitcases. I had some Arizona Wildcat t-shirts in it and personal stuff. I opened it and she waved me through. That was it! I spent more time worrying about it than the whole process took.

Maxirat Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/11/2005 6:26:34 AM   So how did you get on - with the lady or ladies - I mean ??? Cycleserg Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/12/2005 1:56:33 AM   Hey Max, I got some conflicting advice from so of the members in the forum. I guess it made me paranoid. Needless to say, I had no problems and I guess from reading some of the other posts, the process will get even easier. We hope! My lady Talina and I have just started the K1 Visa process so everything went great and hopfully getting better.

Play with some different options, Chicago to JFK then Aerosvit to Kiev. Look at Orbitz, then go directly to the airlines and see if you can get a better deal. I will say KLM was a great flight, good service good ride all the way to Kiev. pempem Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/1/2005 3:28:35 PM   The main reason for anyone to go thru the Red Line customs lines in Ukraine, is so that you can get official proof of what it is that you are carrying into the country. This may become very important to you when you try and leave the country. You can bring in $3000, and up to $10,000 USD, (traveler's checks included,) but make sure that you declare it all on your official entry form. The same is also true for laptop computers. Ukraine customs may search you and your luggage when you try and leave the country. (not very likely tho). If you have more than $3000 USD on you, you MUST be able to provide documentation that you had at least this much money when you entered the country. Otherwise you must provide proof as to how you received this extra money during your visit inside Ukraine. (ATM receipts?) Without this proof, you will have broken Ukraine customs and taxation laws. ( probably a bad idea). With laptop computers and electronics, the Ukraine customs wants to make sure that you do not bring in computers and such, and then sell them for a profit during your visit without paying the required import duty taxes. Computers cost much more in Ukraine. So again, it is very important that you document on your entry form, any expensive electronics and/or computers that you bring into Ukraine. And when leaving the country, be ready to show the customs people that you still possess these same computers. Ukraine customs will often check your entry declaration form with your exit declaration form. Be sure you can explain (with documentation) any differences in anything expensive. Luggage searches are common.. Personal searches are not.

What you bring in you can bring out. Travelers checks will be virtually useless in Ukraine. Bring cash and use your debit card/ATM card. Plenty of ATM machines in all cities of Ukraine. They call them Bankomat's. Make sure to notify your bank that you will be using your card overseas. essex23 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/5/2009 9:34:25 PM   I am considering taking a trip to Ukraine soon and was wondering how much money would be sufficient to last for a week or so. I don't buy a lot of souvenirs or anything, so mainly I will just be needing money for food and possibly sightseeing events for me and one other person. How much would you estimate might be a good amount to take? Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/6/2009 4:01:59 PM   I had no idea of 'red line' 'green line' into Ukraine. I arrived, went through with no hassel or any type of search. But when I left the only thing they were concerned about was a small bottle of Bailey's I had in carry on. They didn't even concern themselves with cameras, computer etc. But after a few short discussions about it (Bailey's) they waved me through. Of course I had to give up Bailey's in Moscow. Helga wanted me to drink it at the checkpoint. A gift it became. Was I just lucky? jetmba.

NOW anyway - wasn't so a few years ago when especially in Moldova you had best time yourself so that all of the tables for luggage examination were full by the time you came through - that way they would just wave you on. Now in both countries the most I am ever asked is how much money I am carrying. And since I generally carry under $100 and depend an ATM card its not a big deal. But Julian - if you were carrying a small bottle of Bailey's in carry on - how did you hope to even make it ON the plane to Ukraine - let alone through customs - unless you bought it at a duty free shop and it was sealed. In the US anyway - you can't even get on a plane unless you have 3 oz. or less in plastic bottles in a ziplock bag. And of course anything bought duty free must be transfered to checked baggage for connecting flights within the US on return - or even the dutyfree seal will not prevent the liquid from being confiscated. Ukraine is quite lax on that too. I had a couple real nice bottles of Crimean wine in my carry-on two years ago. (Don't know what I was thinking.) and had no trouble getting on the plane in Kiev. But in Paris they confiscated them. Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/6/2009 5:48:16 PM   I wasn't planning to take bailey's with me. I was going to leave it behind but figured what the hey? Of course now I will be flying directly into and staying in Russia -- no gambling with anything as far as what I bring along. beemer18 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/7/2009 4:44:01 AM   In Kiev, I found out in April, you CANNOT bring liquids through new checkpoint...with x-ray machine just upstairs, had to dump out sodas and water. Before I could brings drinks all the way up in front of gate where the x-ray machine checkpoint was. Lost a good bottle of Vodka last time in Moscow on flight home....went right through anycheckpoints in Kiev at the time.
