Ukraine has lost billions due to scrap exports: metallurgists report schemes<\/h2>\n

According to Alexandra Kalenkova<\/strong>, In 2025, Ukrainian metallurgical enterprises did not receive at least 200 thousand tonnes of scrap metal<\/strong>, that could have been processed into steel domestically.<\/p>\n

According to industry estimates, these products could be exported as metal with high added value<\/strong>, This would have brought significantly more revenue to the state budget and foreign exchange earnings.<\/p>\n

Instead, much of the scrap was exported abroad as raw materials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How the scheme works<\/h3>\n

The industry association explains that exporters are taking advantage:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Duty-free trade with the European Union<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    schemes with minimal taxes<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    weak control over export flows<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    As a result, it is more profitable to sell scrap metal as a raw material than to supply it to Ukrainian steelmakers.<\/p>\n

    Attempts to lift restrictions<\/h3>\n

    According to Kalenkov, some exporters are trying to to cancel government restrictions through the courts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    They file lawsuits in court, but do not pay the court fee. After that, the applications are returned, but the process can be started again - waiting for a different distribution of the case between judges.<\/p>\n

    The industry believes that such actions actually allow to delay consideration and put pressure on the export regulation system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Context.<\/h3>\n

    Ukraine's steel industry has been operating in an extremely challenging environment since the start of the full-scale war.<\/p>\n

    Many businesses have lost production capacity or logistics, and access to raw materials has become critical.<\/p>\n
