ArmInfo. At a meeting on November 29, the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission decided to provide a tariff concession in the form of an exemption from import customs duty for certain types of cattle meat intended for the production of meat products.
As noted in the press release of the EEC, this concerns the possibility of importing these products in 2025 in the following volumes: for the Republic of Armenia - up to 9 thousand tons, for the Republic of Belarus - up to 7.5 thousand tons, for the Kyrgyz Republic - up to 2.5 thousand tons, and for the Russian Federation up to 100 thousand tons. Andrey Slepnev, the Minister for Trade of the EEC, emphasized that the tariff exemption will be granted in respect of cattle meat intended exclusively for the industrial processing and production of finished products, provided that the authorized body confirms the intended purpose of the imported goods. Such meat raw does not include high-quality beef, which is mainly produced in the internal market. The deficit of raw meat in the EAEU is compensated mainly by imports from Latin American and India.
