The Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia is preparing a new list of products of social and economic importance for consideration by the EAEU for temporary reduction or zeroing of customs duties amid importing from third countries. Deputy Minister of Economy of the Republic of Armenia Varos Simonyan announced this during a press conference on April 15 at the Unified Information Center.
According to him, the implementation of this initiative will stimulate production and industry and, ultimately, will have social significance. At the moment, as the deputy minister noted, there are active discussions with the business community to form this list, in particular, to identify those products, raw materials, components that are essential in production processes.
