The Australian government stands for solidarity with Ukraine and works with partners to place the highest cost on Russia.
Australia has introduced additional duties of 35% on all goods imported from Russia and Belarus. This is stated in a press release on the website of the government of the country, published on March 31.
It was noted that the Australian authorities are taking further action to increase economic costs for Russia after its illegal invasion of Ukraine in support of Belarus, applying additional duties of 35% to all imports from Russia and Belarus.
The official notice of disqualification to the country’s most favorable tariff treatment and the application of additional duties will be published on April 1.
The decision itself will take effect on April 25, 2022 and will be applied in addition to the general duty rates currently in effect.
“We continue to work with partners to impose maximum costs on Russia through targeted sanctions against individuals and legal entities, a ban on energy carriers, oil and gas products from Russia, as well as a ban on the export of alumina and aluminum ores (including bauxite) to Russia ”, said the Australian government.
The list of anti-Russian measures includes more than 500 individuals and entities and is the largest imposed by Australian authorities against a country.
