Copper Production Almost Entirely Involved in Export Duty
The Cabinet of Ministers extended the list of goods subject to export duties. According to the government decree of January 10 (http://xalqqazeti.com/az/news/desicions/80117), the import duty on February 9 of this year will also be applied to the production of copper wire and rods, copper profiles and copper fittings.
The fee is 10% of the export value of the goods, but not less than $ 300 per ton.
Last time the government set export duties for exports of copper products in August 2016. These duties will be valid for 5 years.
Export duties do not apply to copper ore and its concentrates. --08D--
