The benefits apply to both fresh and chilled, as well as frozen beef. However, to obtain a "zero" tariff or reduced rates, importers must meet several strict requirements.
First of all, the importer must obtain official approval from the relevant government authority in their country. This document must specify the name of the organization, the volumes of import, and the product specifications. Without this confirmation, the benefits will not be applied.
In addition, the imported meat must be intended solely for the production of meat products within the country. The resale of raw meat for export to other states of the union is prohibited. Moreover, finished products (such as sausages and canned goods) made from this raw material cannot be sold in the markets of other EAEU countries.
The main goal of introducing these measures is to provide the domestic market with quality raw materials and help local enterprises control prices for meat products. It is expected that such support for the processing industry will help maintain price stability for end consumers and strengthen food security in the region.
