Recall that in the third quarter of last year a duty-free regime was introduced for imports of non-processed skins of cattle and small cattle.
Last year, timber exports increased from 611.9 to 2,388.2 cubic meters. The government is allegedly concerned about illegal deforestation with the following export of the timber. ----08D
