Baku, Azerbaijan, July 6
By Elena Kosolapova – Trend:
In accordance with the presidential decree, a temporary ban has been introduced in Russia since July 1, 2016, on the transit of Ukrainian goods and on the freight traffic from third countries, which are going through the territory of Ukraine to Kazakhstan, said Kazakh National Chamber of Entrepreneurs.
The Chamber informed about the decision after a meeting with representatives of Russia’s Federal Customs Service in Kazakhstan.
In particular, the ban is applicable to the goods, going from Turkey through the territory of Ukraine and goods of some countries of the European Union, with regard to which Russia collects custom duties above zero, as well as the products from the “sanctions” list.
Meanwhile, over the appeal of the Kazakh government, the Russian government may allow the transportation of certain goods, with regard to which the ban has been introduced.
It was previously reported that the decree on the special order of the goods import from Ukraine’s territory through Russia applies to traffic from Ukraine to Kyrgyzstan.
The decree is valid until late 2017.
