MINSK, 26 May (BelTA) – Duties on automobiles imported by individuals to Belarus will not be changed as from 1 July, Chairman of the State Customs Committee of Belarus (SCC) Alexander Shpilevsky told media in the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus on 26 May. “Belarus and Kazakhstan have similar views but Russia is intent on enforcing customs duties for juridical persons. I think the problem will not be resolved as from 1 July,” said Alexander Shpilevsky.
