Draft Law on the Safety of Non-Food Products

On 02 June 2026, the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine published the Draft Law of Ukraine “On General Safety of Non-Food Products,” which proposes the implementation of the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2023/988.

The main changes concern new approaches to product control, the liability of market participants, and the operation of online platforms.

In particular, the Draft Law provides for:

  • defining clear responsibilities for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and business entities of online markets regarding ensuring the safety of non-food products;
  • establishing a national digital portal for non-food product safety;
  • introducing liability for business entities for violating product safety requirements;
  • establishing an effective product traceability system at all stages of its circulation, allowing for the prompt withdrawal of unsafe goods from circulation.

We will closely monitor further developments in this area and report on them in the future Legal News.
