# Russian Government May Temporarily Cut Export Duties for Friendly Countries

> The Russian Ministry of Economic Development has drafted amendments to the customs tariff law allowing the government to temporarily reduce export duties for exports to friendly countries and fully waive them for goods from certain regions. The cap on non-base export duties would be six months. Fuel, wheat, timber and ferrous scrap are named as the most significant products subject to export duties.
