Nechaev proposed to increase duties on the import of goods from unfriendly countries

The leader of the New People party, Alexei Nechaev, said that it is necessary to strengthen the response to Western sanctions. Thus, the deputy proposed to increase the rate of duty on imported products from unfriendly countries. According to him, this will create competitive conditions for domestic producers.

“We can leave the same duties for those who do not oppose Russia – the countries of Asia, Latin America, for our Eurasian comrades – and raise them for those who declared war on us,” the deputy said during the plenary meetings State Duma. He proposed to consider this initiative at the level of the Committee on Industry and Trade.

Alexei Nechaev added that the proceeds from the increase in duties could be used to finance advertising for Russian manufacturers.

As a general rule, duties on the import of goods into the country are determined according to the Common Customs Tariff, which is approved by the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission. To date, the single rate of customs duties is 15% of the cost. December 9 Russian government introduced duties on the import of personal hygiene goods and weapons from unfriendly countries at the level of 35%.
