This is reported by TASS with reference to the draft resolution of the Russian government prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

“To establish, from January 1 to June 30, 2023, inclusive, a tariff quota for the export outside the territory of the Russian Federation to states that are not members of the Eurasian Economic Union, scrap and waste of ferrous metals exported in accordance with the customs export procedure in a total volume of 600 thousand tons ", the document says.

The project provides for the establishment of an intra-quota rate of 5%, but not less than €5 per ton, an out-of-quota rate of at least €290 per ton.

The explanatory note notes that the proposal was developed in order to provide strategic domestic enterprises of the metallurgical industry in the face of sanctions.

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Finance of Russia may restrict the export of precious metals by individuals.
