YEREVAN. – The list of Customs Union preferences for Armenia may become shorter, Russian Minister Tatyana Valovaya said in Yerevan.

She commented on the request for interim exemptions from customs duties on 900 commodity groups presented by the Armenian side during talks on Customs Union accession.

“We are not prepared to say that the tariff exemptions will be exactly 900. But there are different mechanisms. There are exemptions from the customs tariff, and there are other decisions on tariff concessions. And we need to see how we can respond to the goods sensitive for the Armenian side,” said Valovaya, the Eurasian Economic Commission Board Member.

Anyway, exemption is a temporary mechanism.  For Kazakhstan, the list initially included 400 commodity groups, the benefits are now 60, and by the end of 2014 their term expires.
