ArmInfo. The Chairman of the EAEU collegium Mikhail Myasnikovich took up the problem of re-exporting cars from Armenia to partner countries. The head of the collegium told reporters in Yerevan about this. Answering a question about the legal basis of the refusal of the Republic of Kazakhstan from the possibilities of operating these cars in the republic and the requirement of their customs clearance at the current tariffs in the country.
It should be noted that only this year Armenia imported more than 200 thousand cars from abroad under the conditions of customs exemptions. Some of these cars were bought in Armenia and transported to partner countries. Most were re-exported to Kazakhstan with license plates already registered in Armenia.
Earlier, an employee of the Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Almas Arzykulov, in an interview with the media emphasized that there are a lot of vehicles driving along the country's roads that are driven from Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus and Russia. Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan warned that the opportunity to use such cars is provided only during the year. The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan instructed to resolve the issue of temporary registration of such vehicles. Until March 1, 2021, all owners must pay customs duties and register. According to Arzykulov, today there are about 170 thousand of such cars in the country. Owners of such cars often violate traffic rules, but for such violations, owners of cars registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan receive notices of fines to their home address. But there are problems with fines for owners of cars registered abroad.
Car owners consider themselves deceived, as transactions and the entire procedure with re-export were executed within the framework of the EAEU legislation. Now, in fact, these inexpensive cars will be expensive. <This issue was discussed. It was raised by the Armenian side. In principle, I took it to proceeding. In many ways, this issue requires a bilateral settlement. But I believe that the Armenian side worked within the framework of those regulatory documents that were adopted for the customs clearance and import of these vehicles in Armenia, and how these issues are related to the transfer of these transport units to the territory of other EAEU states must be resolved. Of course, we will consider these issues in the collegium, in the commission, and I think that to a certain extent they can be the subject of consideration in further instances, including in consultations with the Kazakh side,> Myasnikovich said.
