Nedvizhimost19-08-2008 We have them or they us: whether to be a Russian-alien Cement War? Abolition of import cement duty would lead to the collapse of Russian production of building material, confident in the Union of Cement Producers of Russia. Recall that in the middle of this month, an interagency working group recommended the government commission on protective measures in foreign trade of the Russian Federation to approve the draft decision on the introduction on a continuing basis a zero rate of export duty on import of cement in Russia and 7.5% on the interest rate on the import of products from cement . Reference: Decision on resetting the rates of import duty on cement was taken by the Government of the Russian Federation on December 21 and went into effect four days later. Previously, the rate was 5%. In the same resolution it was decided to reduce from 15% to 7.5% import duty on building products. Validity of duty expires in September.
