The Russian government has approved a resolution that will balance out the import duty for both individuals and legal entities in importing trucks and special equipment to Russia.
Resolution No. 567, which will enter into force on January 1, 2007, has been posted on the government's website.
This affects trucks, special equipment, except that used for transporting passengers or cargo, transport vehicles that are not equipped with freight devices or used at factories, warehouses, at ports or airports to transport cargo over short distances.
Individuals currently pay a customs duty of 30% of the customs value. After January 1, both individuals and legal entities will pay a duty and tax based on the age, value and tonnage of the vehicle. |
