On October 1, 2015 Ukrainian exporters were
re-permitted to supply three goods groups without paying duties: cake and other
remainders of oil from sunflower seeds (23063000 foreign trade code), inactive
gases, apart from argon (28042900 code), elements of railway locomotives or
motor wagons of trams or rolling stock (86071903 code), the Economic
Development and Trade Ministry has reported.
The ministry said that this became possible
after the White House decided to return the above-mentioned goods groups of
Ukrainian exports under Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), the Office of
the United States Trade Representative reported on September 30.
"This step allows for potentially
increasing exports of Ukrainian goods to the U.S. and provides additional
competitive advantages to Ukrainian products," Deputy Ukrainian Deputy
Economic Development and Trade Minister and Trade Representative Natalia
Mykolska said.
The ministry said that in 2014, the U.S.
imported the above-mentioned Ukrainian goods worth over $37 million and the
duties exceeded $800,000.
This policy will remain in effect until the end
of 2017, the ministry said.
