HAYKAKAN ZHAMANAK: EURASIAN CUSTOMS TARIFFS BAD FOR ARMENIA'S MEAT IMPORTS
08:43 * 22.10.14
The 15% united customs tariffs, established by the Eurasian Economic
Union, are likely to cause a surge in the meat imports to Armenia
after the country joins the bloc.
The paper says that the code for meat is missing from the list of
the products for which the union has fixed privileged terms. And that
in turn implies a 5% increase in the prices of beef, with the annual
import price from the EEU countries amounting to $20 million (at 10%
customs duty).
But the situation with the poultry import will be far more tragic,
says the paper, adding that the envisaged customs duty for this product
will rise to 25%. The paper notes that Armenia annually imports 45$
million worth poultry meat from the EEU member states, adding that
the earlier promises ruling out a surge on the market for the coming
couple of years thus turn out a blatant lie.
The paper says further that the Eurasian customs tariffs will also
affect the prices of cheese on the Armenian market.
