The Cabinet of Ministers has decided to apply a customs duty in the amount of $ 1,000 per 1 cubic meter for the export of various types of timber, i.e. 4401, 4403, 4404 and 4407. The decision of the government comes into force 30 days after its adoption (March 28).
The initiator of the decision was the State Customs Committee.
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
