If you are looking for a partner for road transport on EU-Ukraine or Ukraine-EU, you must take into account a few aspects:

Ukraine is outside of EU, so the transports are made based on the specific authorisation;
Customs procedures will be drawn up by customs commissioners both for loading the goods (opening operations in the export country / transit customs declaration) and for their delivery (closing operations in the import country / transit customs declaration);
The customs formalities can be handled by the importer / exporter or the carrier, upon request;
Most of the trucks that carry out these transports are owned by transport companies from Ukraine.
