Senate approves procedure for distributing
customs duties within EAEU
During the meeting, the Senate also approved
the procedure for distributing customs duties within the EAEU. This pertains to
the ratification by Kazakhstan of the protocol on amendments to the relevant
Treaty. The law aims to remove obstacles in the administration of customs duty collection,
which is charged upon the import or export of goods within the Eurasian
Economic Union. Overall, the ratification of this document will ensure the
uninterrupted flow of customs revenues into the national budget, the Senate
noted.
«The heads of state instructed the governments
to revise approaches, considering the changing macroeconomic conditions in
their countries, to ensure that the methodology becomes more responsive and adaptive
to these challenges, particularly in an upward direction. Currently, the
Russian Federation is restricted in making transfers in U.S. dollars, which has
created an opportunity for us to fulfill our obligations to each other in
national currencies. The ratification enables the participating countries to meet
their obligations regarding customs payments,» noted Berik Sholpankulov, Deputy
Governor of the National Bank of Kazakhstan.
