It is proposed to rewrite the article on the rates of state duty paid for customs operations defined by the law on State Duty. It is proposed to bring these norms into line with the rates established by the EEU Customs Code. In recent years, they have not undergone any amendments.

Separation of the state duty charged by the customs bodies for customs operations according to the types of customs declarations is planned. For each case of state duty, it is planned to define the terms of payment of state duty. The scope of state duty exemption privileges will be clarified.
