The Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade has decided from Aug. 19 to cancel special duties on some goods from Belarus, which Ukraine introduced in response to the introduction of licensing for certain goods from outside the Customs Union, which was seen as discriminatory actions.
According to the press service of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, the commission made the decision on Aug. 5. As expected, the announcement about the decision made will be published in the Uriadovy Kurier newspaper on Aug. 8.
