“If Azerbaijan produces chicken meat, eggs and other foods, then why the country must pay foreign currency for frozen imported products?” said Aliyev.
Customs duties will be increased for two years in Azerbaijan on importing a number of goods starting from November 1, 2016.
This applies to such types of goods, as meat and edible meat by-products (fresh, chilled and frozen poultry meat), eggs, vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic), fruits and nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, grapes, apples, pear, quince, persimmon), fruit and vegetable processing products (juices).
Customs duties will be also increased for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (mineral and soda water), construction materials (bentonite, gypsum, cement, clinker), articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos (plates, bricks, building blocks) and ceramic products.
