The Commission of the Customs Union of Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan zeroed import duties on carrots, beetroots and onions. Earlier the duty on import of these vegetables was 15%. The decision comes into force as soon it is officially published and will be valid until 30 June 2011. As Ministry of Economic Development reports, the governmental subcommission on customs and rates also suggested that the Customs Union should zero import duties on some fruit and vegetables – tomatoes, cucumbers, gherkins and apples. It was also suggested that duties on milk powder and packaged tea should be zeroed, but this suggestion was rejected.
