ArmInfo.The Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission has made changes to the regulation of issues of import/export of precious metals and commodities containing precious metals.
"The changes are aimed at liberalizing the import and export of certain categories of precious metals, simplifying the passage of state control, optimizing the list of documents provided by participants in foreign trade activities to government bodies, as well as applying uniform non-tariff regulation measures to identical goods," noted the director of the department of customs tariff and non-tariff regulation of the EEC Vahagn Ghazaryan.
According to him, it is, in particular, about excluding from regulation those products in which the specific weight of precious metals does not exceed 2%. Also, taking into account the possibility of receiving documents in electronic form, it is allowed to submit copies of documents (export license, specification for goods) instead of originals for state control.
In addition, the requirements for the availability of a document on the conditions for processing goods outside the customs territory of the EAEU are excluded if the purpose of applying the customs procedure for processing outside the customs territory is the repair of goods, and a number of other changes are made.
The decision will come into force after 30 calendar days from the date of its official publication. Earlier, ArmInfo, with reference to data from the RA Statistics Committee, reported that in January - February of this year, jewelry production increased 11.8-fold in country, the volume of which amounted to 119.1 billion drams. According to experts, growth in the industry is largely due to the re-export of jewelry products.
