RF Import Customs Duty Rate

Dear Member,
In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, with reference to the letter dated 04.08.2023 and numbered 87840609 received from the Ministry of Trade, a copy of which is attached, it is stated that the Russian Federation has temporarily raised the customs duty rate on imports of sparkling wine, cosmetic products and weapons from "unfriendly" countries to 35% between 01.08.2023-31.12.2023.

The letter also explains that our exports to that country in the cosmetics sector have increased, and states that this increase specific to the said sector is expected to continue.

The letter further shares information on the website where information can be accessed on the products subject to the said tax increase, the list of which is attached, and emphasises that it would be useful to contact the Commercial Counsellor's Office in Moscow for additional information on the subject.
