Russia to increase import duties on Ukrainian chocolate and coal

Russia plans to introduce a number of trade sanctions against Ukraine, including the increase in import duties on Ukrainian chocolate, coal and glass.

This will be a response to new customs duties introduced by the Ukrainian government on imports of cars, which the World Trade Organization did not support.

Russia submitted for the WTO consideration estimates, according to which the car tax of Ukraine would harm the Russian automobile export worth 328 million USD, the Reuters agency from the WTO headquarters in Geneva reports.
