Russia to Lower Shrimp Import Duties from 2013

 
Reportedly, the Eurasian Economic Commission has decided to lower the import duties on some of shrimps and shrimp products, with the rates on those in non-sealed packages lowered to 17% of customs value but not less than 0.34 euro per kg.

The new lower duties will take effect from January 1, 2013, as a Russian commitment to the WTO.

The Eurasian Economic Commission, founded in late 2011, acts as a unified, permanent, coordinating and super-national organization for Russia-Belarus-Kazakhstan Customs Union and Single Economic Space.
